Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Overall Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of investigating bilateral continuous erector spinae blocks (BESB) for postoperative pain management in a small cohort of children undergoing surgical sternotomy prior to planning an appropriately powered, randomized, controlled trial of the same. Hypothesis: The investigators' primary hypothesis is that utilizing bilateral erector spinae blocks for post-sternotomy pain is a feasible intervention for consideration in a larger trial by demonstrating a 75% or greater successful intervention completion rate without any major adverse outcomes.
