Abstract

<p>　Background : We report the current status and future of postoperative pain management after minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) using a questionnaire survey.</p><p>　Method : A total of 179 hospitals were included in this survey.</p><p>　Findings : A total of 106 hospitals responded, out of which 70 hospitals performed MICS. The majority (41%) of the sites rated continuous peripheral nerve block as the primary method for postoperative analgesia. Single-shot peripheral nerve blocks were found to be performed at 20 sites, while intercostal nerve block was the most commonly practiced method (32 sites). Peripheral nerve block and postoperative pain management were provided by cardiac surgeons in more than half of the cases.</p><p>　Conclusions : In most hospitals, cardiac surgeons are the primary providers of peripheral nerve blocks and postoperative pain management in MICS cases. In the future, anesthesiologists would be required to consider and implement more effective postoperative pain management.</p>
