Superficial Parasternal Intercostal Plane Blocks (SPIB) With Buprenorphine, Magnesium, and Bupivacaine for Management of Pain in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

ABSTRACT: Introduction Management of post-operative pain after cardiac surgery continues to be a challenge; inadequate management of pain can lead to increased morbidity, impaired physical function with potential delay in recovery, increased perioperative and chronic opioid consumption, increased cost of care, and a decreased quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding buprenorphine and magnesium to bupivacaine for superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks (SPIB) on pain and opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Patients undergoing CABG were divided into the following four groups: saline SPIB, SPIB with bupivacaine (BPVC), SPIB with bupivacaine and buprenorphine (BPVC+BPRN), and SPIB with bupivacaine, buprenorphin
