Perioperative anaesthesia by local infiltration following median sternotomy - a study protocol

CONCLUSION: This trial will define whether the use of long-acting infiltration anaesthesia during heart surgery may reduce acute and prolonged post-operative opioid consumption. Reduction of opioid-related adverse effects may improve recovery.FUNDING: The trial is supported by public grants (Dansk Selskab for Anæstesiologi og Intensiv Medicin: 40,000 DKK; Regionernes Medicin og Behandlingspulje 2022: 686,000 DKK).
