Summary

This study looked at whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) could improve pain control and breathing after open-heart surgery. 206 adults having heart surgery were split into two groups: one got the nerve blocks plus standard care, the other got standard care alone. The goal was to see if the blocks shortened time on a breathing machine, reduced pain, and improved oxygen levels.
