Serratus Anterior Plane Block Combined With Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block Versus Conventional Local Anesthetic Infiltration for SICD Implantation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Serratus Anterior Plane Block, Transversus Thoracis Plane Block, Subcutaneous ICD

In brief

This is a prospective randomized study. The aim is to investigate the efficacy of a combined SAPB with TTPB for perioperative pain control compared to the standard local anesthetic infiltration technique in adult patients undergoing SICD implantation. The hypothesis is that the combined plane block provides better pain control compared to the standard local infiltration technique.
