An emerging regional block technique, transverse thoracic muscle block covers the T2-T6 intercostal nerves and can effectively relieve perioperative pain during median sternotomy. Bilateral transverse thoracic muscle plane( TTP) block is expected to be a new analgesic mode in perioperative of cardiac surgery via sternotomy.
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel controlled clinical trial. Eighty patients planning to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting or heart valve surgery via median sternotomy were randomly assigned 1:1 to the experimental group or control group. After general anesthesia, all subjects were injected with 0.3% ropivacaine (experimental group) or 0.9% normal saline (control group) 15ml and 10ml respectively after insertion of a needle into bilateral transverse thoracic muscle plane and rectus sheath guided by B-ultrasound by anesthesiologist. The main outcome indicators were the threshold of incision pain and the total amount of analgesics used during the operation and 48h after the operation. Secondary outcome measures were as follows: postoperative VAS score, duration of mechanical ventilation, days in ICU, total days of hospitalization, and hospitalization cost. This study will provide evidence-based medical evidence and clinical data support for the application of TTP block in cardiac surgery.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transversus thoracis muscle plane and rectus sheath block with ropivacaine | Experimental | Using the plane technique to place a 22-gauge, 80-mm needle obliquely upwards until the needle tip is located at the plane between the internal intercostal muscles and the transverse pectoralis muscle (TTP block) and rectus sheath block, give 15ml and 10ml 0.3% ropivacaine respectively. |
|
| Transversus thoracis muscle plane and rectus sheath puncture with saline | Experimental | Using the plane technique to place a 22-gauge, 80-mm needle obliquely upwards until the needle tip is located at the plane between the internal intercostal muscles and the transverse pectoralis muscle (TTP block) and rectus sheath block, give 15ml and 10ml 0.9% saline respectively. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane and rectus sheath block with ropivacaine | Procedure | A linear array transducer (6-13 MHz) with a sterile cover and a 22-gauge (G) block needle (KDL™, Kindly group, Shanghai, China) will be used. Place the ultrasound probe on the longitudinal plane 1 cm outside the edge of the sternum in the fourth intercostal space, and identify the T3-T4 intercostal space under ultrasound. Use the plane technique to place a 22-gauge, 80-mm needle obliquely upwards until the needle tip is located at the plane between the internal intercostal muscles and the transverse pectoralis muscle. After general anesthesia, all subjects were injected with 0.3% ropivacaine 15ml and 10ml respectively after insertion of a needle into bilateral transverse thoracic muscle plane and rectus sheath guided by B-ultrasound. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of hyperalgesia | a 180mN von-Frey wire (Touch Test™ Sensory Evaluator, USA) was used to test the pain sensitivity of the area around the wound | Surgery to 48 hours after |
| The total amount of analgesics used in the perioperative period. | During the perioperation, the amount of analgesics during the operation, the total amount of analgesic pump drugs used and the frequency of pressing the additional bolus trigger in the patient's analgesia system at 48 hours after the operation, and the amount of remedial analgesics | Surgery to 48 hours after |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale | A scale with a length of about 10cm is used. One side is marked with 10 scales, and the two ends are marked with "0" and "10" points respectively. 0 points mean painless, and 10 points mean the most intense pain that is unbearable | Extubation to 24 hours after |
| Length of stay in hospital |
