Benefit of Peri-operative Bilateral ESP Catheters for Enhanced Recovery for Cardiac Surgery (ERCS)

Overview

To demonstrate if the addition of peri-operative regional analgesia by Bilateral ESP catheters improves the enhanced recovery program after open heart surgeries for the duration of hospitalisation, quality of analgesia, Consumption of peri-operative opioids, quality of recovery and quality of life. Patients will be randomly divided in 2 groups Group 1 With the actual standards of care for enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery including opioid sparing peri operative analgesia Group 2 With the actual standards of care for enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery replacing the opioid analgesia by a peri operative analgesia by bilateral ESP catheters

I. CONSULTING PHASE: 1 WEEK BEFORE SURGERY 1. Preoperative information, education and counselling: patient and families receive dedicated preoperative counselling including information packets. 2. Preoperative optimization: medical optimization before surgery, including renal, pulmonary, and endocrine function. 3. Smoking and alcohol cessation: smoking and alcohol cessation advised and promoted before surgery. 4. Preoperative nutrition status: patients screened for nutritional status and counselling given for a protein-rich diet at least the week before the surgery. II. PREOPERATIVE PHASE: 2 DAYS BEFORE SURGERY 1. Preoperative fasting and carbohydrate treatment: patients are kept NPO 8h before surgery except for oral carbohydrate beverage given 2-4h before surgery. 2. Reviewed all examination results: cardiac echography, X-ray, biology's tests 3. Consents signed. 4. Authorization operative be signed 5. Preoperative multimodal analgesic initiated : before surgery 2 h Gabapentin: 600 mg (P.O) Acetaminophen: 500 mg (P.O) Hydroxyzine: 50 mg (P.O) III. INTRAOPERATIVE PHASE: 1.
