What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Effective pain control during pediatric cardiac surgery remains a major clinical challenge, particularly in procedures involving median sternotomy, which is associated with intense nociceptive stimulation. Inadequate intraoperative analgesia may lead to increased opioid requirements, hemodynamic instability, delayed extubation, and prolonged intensive care unit stay. Objective monitoring of nociception may provide valuable information beyond conventional hemodynamic parameters in this vulnerable population. This prospective randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided parasternal plane block on intraoperative nociception in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. Intraoperative nociception will be objectively assessed using the Pain Index Monitor (PAM), based on skin conductance measurements. The results of this study are ex
