First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looked at how a specific nerve block (pectointercostal fascial plane block) affects blood flow in 40 adults having planned heart surgery. Researchers used Doppler ultrasound to measure changes in blood volume. They also tracked pain scores, opioid use, and hospital stay length. The goal was to better understand the block's effects, not to test a cure or treatment.
