Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery by minithoracomy present severe acute postoperative pain. Cryoanalgesia of the intercostal nerves and BRILMA block can provide a solution for this postoperative pain. The main aim of this study is to compare the postoperative analgesia provided by BRILMA block and intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery by minitoractomia.
