Clinical Outcomes of Erector Spinae Plane Block for Midline Sternotomy in Cardiac Surgery : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the benefit of single-shot erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on pain at postoperative hours 4 and 12, duration of mechanical ventilation, hospital length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, cumulative postoperative opioid usage, and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after cardiac surgery via sternotomy DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective clinical trials.

SETTING: Studies were identified through the search of PubMed and EMBASE on July 19, 2023.

PARTICIPANTS: Adults and children undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy.

INTERVENTIONS: Single-shot ESPB versus standard-of-care analgesia.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 10 studies (N = 695 patients). The single-shot ESPB arm exhibited statistically significant reductions in pain score at postoperative hour 4 (standardized mean difference [SMD] -2.95, 95% CI -5.86 to -0.04, p = 0.0466), duration of mechanical ventilation (SMD -1.23, 95% CI -2.21 to -0.24, p = 0.0145), cumulative postoperative opioid usage (SMD -1.48, 95% CI -2.46 to -0.49, p = 0.0033), and PONV incidence (risk ratio 0.4358, 95% CI 0.2105-0.9021, p = 0.0252). The single-shot ESPB arm did not exhibit a statistically significant reduction in pain score at postoperative hour 12, length of hospital stay, and length of ICU stay.

CONCLUSIONS: Single-shot ESPB improves near-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via sternotomy. More randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
