Patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures frequently experience intense acute pain in the post-sternotomy wound, which can potentially transition into persistent chronic pain in approximately 35% of cases after one year. Recently, thoracic myofascial plane blocks with ultrasound guidance as part of multimodal analgesia have contributed to a faster recovery after surgery.\n\nDe la Torre et al. first described pectointercostal fascial plane block (PIFPB) for breast surgery. Local anaesthetics are injected between the pectoralis major and internal intercostal muscles close to the sternum to block the anterior cutaneous branch of the second-to-sixth thoracic intercostal nerves.The use of intrathecal (IT) opioids with or without local anaesthetics (LA) is a popular analgesic technique around the world for the management of postoperative pain. Unlike IT administration of LA, IT opioids produce 'segmental' analgesia and are not associated with muscle weakness, loss of proprioception or sympathetic block. IT opioids can be administered as an adjunct to general anaesthesia or combined with LA and administered during spinal anaesthesia for surgery. It is one of the easiest, most reliable and cost-effective methods for pain relief. Intrathecal opioid administration can provide more intense analgesia than the IV route and has the advantages of simplicity and reliability",[92,93],"Postoperative Pain","Pediatric Open Heart Surgery",[95,96,97],"Intercostal Fascial Block","intrathecal fentanyl","Paediatric Cardiac Surgery","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-04-12",{"date":101,"type":102},"2025-04-15","ACTUAL",{"date":104,"type":86},"2025-04-20",{"date":106,"type":86},"2025-10-10",{"name":5,"class":6},2]
