This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different nerve block techniques to help manage pain after heart surgery. One approach uses a single nerve block called the erector spinae plane block, while the other uses a combination of two nerve blocks. The goal is to figure out which approach works better at reducing pain and helping patients recover more comfortably.
After heart surgery, pain at the surgical site can be significant and difficult to manage. Doctors want to find the most effective nerve block technique to provide better pain relief after this type of surgery, which could help patients move around more easily and recover faster.

Before your surgery, you would be randomly assigned to receive one of two nerve block techniques. A doctor would perform the nerve block using ultrasound guidance to help numb the area around your surgical site. After surgery, your pain levels would be measured using a simple pain scale, and the study team would monitor how much pain medication you need and how quickly you recover.
