Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the efficacy of Post- operative analgesia and duration of post- operative analgesia by Visual analog scale (VAS) score between SAPB, ICNB and PECS 1 Blocks for thoracotomy pain.Timepoint: Analgesia efficacy assess by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain score and blood pressure and pulse rate postoperatively at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after extubation.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the extubation time, rescue analgesia consumption (Fentanyl) and side effect associated with it.Timepoint: Rescue analgesia by fentanyl and its total consumption and other side effects will be assessed at extubation, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours after extubation.—
