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.

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:

    Conventional Analgesia

    These patients will receive the protocol multimodal analgesia patients receive on the Colombian Cardiovascular Foundation for handling an analgesic in cardiovascular surgery, this start in surgery 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.

  • Experimental
    Serrato intercostal plane Block

    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 mg (2mg) of dexamethasone. and the postoperative analgesia will be 500mg of acetaminophen oral and Analgesia, patient controlled with Fentanyl 20mcg/bolus

    Other: Bilateral serratus Intercostal plane Block

Interventions

  • OtherBilateral serratus Intercostal plane Block

    Will be performed by echo guided one puncture in the fifth costal arch with anterior axilary line, where the tip of the needle will be guided until it reaches a point above the external intercostal muscle, below the anterior serratus above the costal arch where they will be administered 21 ml of anesthesic mass, (20 ml of levobupivacaine 0.375 and 1 mg (2mg) of dexamethasone.)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Fentanyl Consume

    Microgrames of Fentanyl that patient consume during the first 48 hours in the postoperative

    Time frame: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain In Rest and in motion

    It will be valued the pain at rest and in motion, by means of the verbal analog scale for pain, where zero is the absence of pain and 10 is the worst pain that has had on the lives, the pain is measured from the time of extubation what we will call zero hour, and every four hours per 48 hours.

    Time frame: 48 hours

  2. Nausea and vomiting

    Presence of nausea and vomiting during the first 48 hours postoperative.

    Time frame: 48 hours.

  3. Sedation

    Assessment of sedation in the first 48 hours postoperative with the Ramsay scale .The Ramsay scale , Is a subjective scale to assess the degree of sedation of patients, values 6 levels, from 1 where the patient is anxious and agitated ,2 Awake, coperador, focused and quiet. 3. Slept with response to orders. 4. Sleepy with brief answers to the Light. 5 is patient Slept with an answer only to the pain and 6 where the patient is deep asleep without response to stimuli.

    Time frame: 48 hours.

  4. hemothorax

    presence of hemothorax secundary to blockage

    Time frame: 24 hours

  5. seizures

    presence of seizure after to blockage

    Time frame: 1 hour after block

  6. Arrhythmias

    presence of Arrhythmias after of blockage

    Time frame: 1 hour after block
