About this trial
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the recto-intercostal fascial plane block (RIFPB) or the rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with the pectoral-intercostal fascial plane block (PIFPB) on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Secondary outcomes
postoperative recovery quality
TThe Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a 15-question questionnaire validated to assess poetoperative recovery. This questionnaire assesses patients' pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional status in the erly postoperative period. The patient is asked to express their status scoring from 0 to 10; therefore, the total score ranges from 0 to 150 points.
postoperative pain scores
The NRS score (0=no pain; 10=most severe pain) will be used to assess postoperative pain
chronic pain
Patients will be telephoned 3 months after the operation and the presence, localization, and intensity of the pain, its character, and its relation with rest and/or activity will be recorded by asking only verbally. The NRS score (0=no pain; 10=most severe pain) will be used to assess postoperative pain.
