Summary

This study looked at whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) can improve recovery after open-heart surgery. The blocks aim to control pain better than standard painkillers, which may help patients breathe on their own sooner and leave the intensive care unit faster. The trial included 206 adults having planned heart surgery through the breastbone.
