Summary

This study tested two types of nerve blocks (SAP and PECS) to see if they reduce pain and help patients recover faster after coronary artery bypass surgery. 243 adults undergoing open heart surgery were randomly assigned to receive one of the nerve blocks or standard pain medicine. The main goal was to see how long patients needed a breathing tube after surgery. Researchers also tracked pain scores, opioid use, hospital stay length, and side effects.
