Official Title: Intraoperative Cryoanalgesia for Pain Management After Sternotomy: A Randomized Pilot Trial
Brief Summary:
This study will investigate the feasibility of cryoanalgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery via a median sternotomy.Cryoanalgesia is a technique that uses extremely cold temperatures to temporarily ablate nerves and block pain signals.Cryoanalgesia has been used for decades for pain control after thoracic surgery and has been associated with decreased opioid consumption, decreased pain scores, and shorter hospital stays.The results of this study may lead to a useful alternative for pain control in cardiac…
