The current study is a prospective, double-blind study investigating the use of pectoral nerves (PECS) block 2 to alleviate post-operative pain in cardiac surgery patients. The investigators anticipate enrolling a total of 220 participants in one of two groups, an interventional PECS block group and a control group not receiving the block. The intervention will occur in the operating room after the completion of the cardiac procedure and prior to the transfer of the participants to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU). Both groups will receive the standard-of-care (SOC) pain regimen; the intervention with receive the PECS block in addition to SOC pain regimen. The procedure takes approximately five to ten minutes and will be conducted by the attending cardiac anesthesiologist. Pain will then be monitored hourly in the post-operative period in the CTICU. Additional measures will be investigated that are regularly logged in the electronic medical record.
