    AimSome truncal blocks could provide adequate surgical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) insertion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the pectoral nerves (PECS) II block for CIED insertion.MethodsPECS II blocks were performed on the left side using the ultrasound-guided single injection technique in all patients. The primary outcome for feasibility was the percentage of the cases completed without intraoperative additional local anesthesia. Secondary outcomes were the amount of intraoperative additional local anesthetic, intraoperative opioid requirement, postoperative pain scores, first requirement for postoperative analgesia, postoperative analgesic consumption, patient satisfaction, and block-related complications.ResultsOf the total 30 patients, 19 (63.3%) required intraoperative additional local anesthetic. The median (IQR [range]) volume of the additional local anesthetic used was 7 (4-10 [2.5-12]) mL. Two patients needed additional IV analgesics in the first 24 h postoperatively. No statistically significant differences were determined between the patients requiring and not requiring intraoperative additional local anesthetic in respect of age, gender, duration of surgery, block performance time, and hospital stay. A total of 26 (86.6%) patients reported a high level of satisfaction with the procedure.ConclusionsPECS II block for cardiac electronic implantable device insertion provides effective postoperative analgesia for at least 24 h. Although PECS II block alone could not provide complete surgical anesthesia in the majority of the patients, when combined with supplementary local anesthetic, contributes to a smooth intraoperative course for patients.
