The erector spine plane block is currently used in many surgeries to provide postoperative analgesia. It has also been used successfully in open-heart surgery for postoperative sternotomy pain. However, an ideal volume that will provide optimum analgesia has not yet been determined. This study aims to compare the effects of ESP block administered in two different volumes on poststernotomy pain.
