This trial is testing whether different combinations of nerve block injections can safely reduce pain after open heart surgery. Nerve blocks use ultrasound guidance to numb specific nerves around the surgical area, helping patients manage pain without relying solely on strong pain medications. The study compares three different approaches to see which combination works best for improving recovery and quality of life after surgery.
After open heart surgery, patients experience significant pain that can slow recovery and breathing. While traditional pain management methods like spinal injections can sometimes cause serious complications, nerve blocks offer a safer alternative that doctors want to optimize for the best patient outcomes.

You would be scheduled for your planned open heart surgery at the participating hospital. Before or after your surgery (while you're under anesthesia), doctors will perform one of three nerve block procedures using ultrasound to guide numbing medication to the surgical area. You would then be monitored during your hospital recovery, and your pain levels and overall recovery would be tracked as part of the study. The research team would assess how well your pain is controlled and how well you're recovering compared to the other treatment groups.
