摘要

Purpose of Review

Cardiac surgery is associated with significant postoperative pain. Compared to traditional analgesics, regional nerve blocks target specific anatomical areas to improve analgesia and to reduce postoperative opioid consumption. Recent Findings: Pecto-intercostal fascial plane block (PIFB) is a novel analgesic technique that involves ultrasound-guided injection of anesthetic between pectoralis major and external intercostal muscles. Since PIFB is a relatively underexplored method of analgesia, to date, few manuscripts have reviewed and synthesized current literature related to PIFB.

Conclusion

The present investigation focuses on relevant anatomy and physiology behind the PIFB, compares this novel technique with other traditional and novel methods of analgesia, and describes indications and contraindications for PIFB in cardiac surgery and other surgeries.
