Bilateral Serratus Intercostal Plane Block for Myocardial Revascularization (SERRINT)

Trial design: Two-parallel arm, double-blind, individually randomized controlled trial.

Primary endpoint:

Fentanyl consumption in the first 48 postoperative hours.

Secondary endpoints:

Pain at rest, Pain on movement, stay in ICU, Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), sedation, Hemothorax, seizures, arrythmias

Inclusion criteria:

• Patient between 18 years to 80 years.

• Patient to myocardial revascularization by sternotomy

Exclusion criteria:

• Patitient for combined surgery ( myocardial revascularization by sternotomy plus valve or maze)

• Emergency surgery

• Ejecction Fraction less than 35%

• Allergy to the local anesthesic.

• Allergy to opioids

• Patient in who will be technically impossible the application of the blockade

Trial treatment:

Intervention: These patients will receive the protocol multimodal analgesia patients receive on the Colombian Cardiovascular Foundation with Lidocaine 0.5mcg/k. Dexamethasone 8mcg, Fentanyl Bolus: 7mcg/k . infusion of Fentanyl 4 mcg/k/h start after induction , go down to 2 Mcg/k/h during extracorporeal circulation , after extracorporeal circulation the infusion will be suspended of Fentanyl.In this Arm the patient will give a bilateral serratus intercostal plane block, will be performed echo-guided puncture in the line anterior axillar with fifth costal arch, whit 21 ml of anesthetic mass, 20 ml of Levobupivacaine 0.375 and 1 ml (2mg) of dexamethasone. and the postoperative analgesia will be 500mg of acetaminophen oral and Analgesia, patient controlled with Fentanyl 20mcg/bolus

Control:

These patients will receive the protocol multimodal analgesia patients receive on the Colombian Cardiovascular Foundation with Lidocaine 0.5mcg/k. Dexamethasone 8mcg, Fentanyl Bolus: 7mcg/k . infusion of Fentanyl 4 mcg/k/h start after induction , go down to 2 Mcg/k/h during extracorporeal circulation , after extracorporeal circulation the infusion will be suspended of Fentanyl.. and the postoperative analgesia will be 500mg of acetaminophen oral and Analgesia, patient controlled with Fentanyl 20mcg/bolus
