Özet

Systemic opioids are generally used to provide analgesia for pediatric patients after median sternotomy. In order to reduce side effects from opioids and to provide better analgesia through a peripheral nerve block (the cornerstone of multimodal analgesia), we report the first use of an ultrasound-guided subpectoral interfascial plane block in a 12-year-old pediatric patient after median sternotomy for thymectomy
