Ultrasound-Guided Continuous Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Blocks Are Associated with Reduced Opioid Consumption and Length of Stay for Open Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This study tested the hypothesis that continuous bilateral erector spinae plane blocks placed preoperatively would reduce opioid consumption and improve outcomes compared with standard practice in open cardiac surgery patients. Patients who received bilateral continuous erector spinae plane blocks f...

Patients who received bilateral continuous erector spinae plane blocks for primary open coronary bypass, aortic valve, or ascending aortic surgery were compared to a historical control group. Patients in the block group received a 0.5% ropivacaine bolus preoperatively followed by a 0.2% ropivacaine infusion begun postoperatively. No other changes were made to the perioperative care protocol. The primary outcome was opioid consumption. Secondary outcomes were time to extubation and length of stay. Twenty-eight patients received continuous erector spinae plane blocks and fifty patients served as historic controls. Patients who received blocks consumed less opioids, expressed as oral morphine equivalents, both intraoperatively (34 ± 17 vs. 224 ± 125 mg) and during their hospitalization (224 ± 108 vs. 461 ± 185 mg). Patients who received blocks had shorter times to extubation (126 ± 87 vs. 257 ± 188 min) and lengths of stay in the intensive care unit (35 ± 17 vs. 58 ± 42 h) and hospital (5.6 ± 1.6 vs. 7.7 ± 4.6 days).
