Evaluating the impact of parasternal blockade on serum lactate levels in cardiac surgery

Serum Lactate in the Application of Parasternal Blockade in Trans and Post Anesthetic Stages in Cardiac Surgery

Not applicable Interventional Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social · NCT06516432

This study is testing if a specific pain relief method used during heart surgery can lower lactate levels in the blood and help patients recover better after the operation.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the relationship between parasternal blockade and serum lactate levels in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. It aims to determine if the use of parasternal blockade can reduce postoperative inflammatory responses and improve patient outcomes by analyzing lactate levels during and after anesthesia. The study compares patients who received the parasternal block with those who did not, focusing on changes in serum lactate levels within the first 24 hours post-surgery. Conducted at Specialty Hospital CMNO, this analytical cross-sectional study includes adult patients undergoing median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients over 18 years old undergoing elective cardiac surgery with ASA II-III classification.

Not a fit: Patients with pre-existing conditions that could independently affect serum lactate levels may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved postoperative outcomes and reduced morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients.

How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, similar studies have shown that interventions like parasternal blockade can positively influence postoperative outcomes.
