Current Primary Outcome MeasuresEvaluation of analgesic effect by 11-NRS scale [Time Frame: 4th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: No]assessement of analgesic effect for the first 4 days after surgery
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Additional analgesic consumption [Time Frame: 4th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Hospital stay in days. [Time Frame: days until discharge] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Evaluation of side-effects by daily questionnaire [Time Frame: 4th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Cardiac complications [Time Frame: 30th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]i.e. Myocardial infarction(MI), postoperative pericardial effusion, heart failure requiring inotropic support , atrial fibrillation.
  • Other complications [Time Frame: 30th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]i.e. cerebral (stroke, bleeding), GI(bleeding), blood component requirements and sternal complications.
  • 30 day Mortality [Time Frame: 30th postoperative day] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Death from all causes.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- age>18

- any cardiac procedure with sternotomy

- able to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- cardiac surgery without sternotomy

- peripheral neuropathy

- neurological disease

- psychiatric illness

- history of GI bleeding

- chronic pain (i.e. back pain, cancer, arthritis)

- serum creatinine >150 μmol/l

- hepatic disease with elevated liver enzymes (SGPT and SGOT elevated to 1.5 times
maximum normal value)

- allergic to study medication

- alcohol abuse

- abuse of narcotics or medication

- pregnancy

- participation in other clinical trials

- insufficient language skills

- In addition intensive care unit (ICU) stay for more than 24 hours was used as a
pre-defined post randomization exclusion criteria, because prolonged ICU stay and
ventilator treatment would interfere with study analgesic protocol.
