Effect of Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block (TTMP) on Analgesia

Forty-six patients aged 18-70 years, ASA class I-III, who undergo CABG surgery were included in our study. The patients were randomized into the TTKPB group and the control group. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded before peroperative induction, before skin incision, after skin incision, before sternotomy and after sternotomy. PCA with tramadol was applied after extubation and "Numeric rating scale" NRS scores, total tramadol consumption, number of requests and additional analgesic requirements were recorded at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours.
