Why the study?
Opioid-based regimens are traditionally the cornerstone of postoperative analgesia but cause significant adverse effects, prompting evaluation of multimodal approaches for pain relief following cardiac surgery.
Do multimodal pain control regimens improve postoperative pain relief and reduce side effects compared to traditional opioid-based analgesia in patients undergoing open cardiac surgeries?

Supports multimodal analgesia after cardiac surgery; leaves open confirmation by prospective RCTs.
Do multimodal pain control regimens improve postoperative pain relief and reduce side effects compared to traditional opioid-based analgesia in patients undergoing open cardiac surgeries?
Multimodal pain control regimens are increasingly supported for postoperative analgesia in cardiac surgery to reduce pain and opioid-related adverse effects.
