Summary

This study tests if giving a numbing medicine called ropivacaine through chest tubes after heart surgery helps patients recover better and feel less pain. About 116 adults having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the medicine or a placebo. The goal is to see if this approach improves overall recovery quality and reduces the need for strong painkillers.
