First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in chest nerve blocks could provide better pain relief after heart surgery. Sixty adults having open-heart surgery through a chest incision received the nerve block with or without the extra drug. The main goal was to see how long pain relief lasted.
