Bilateral Superficial Serratus Anterior Plane Block in a Pediatric Patient for Post?operative Analgesia Undergoing ASD Repair Via Median Sternotomy- A Case Report

ABSTRACT

Serratus Anterior fascial plane (SAP) block is a high-volume interfascial plane block that has been used in adult patients in cardiac surgery with good postoperative pain relief. We report a case of a 9 year old female child who underwent ostium secundum atrial septum defect closure and was given bilateral SAP block. The patient was extubated within 4 hours of surgery and was pain free in the postoperative period without the use of any opioids.
