Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the assessment of postoperative analgesia by the Modified Objective Pain Score (MOPS) and duration of postoperative analgesia of bilateral erector spinae plane block as compared to standard institutional practices.Timepoint: Modified Objective pain score assessed after extubation and the 2,4,6,8,10,12 hours after extubation—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare duration of mechanical ventilation, rescue analgesia (fentanyl) consumption / total opioid consumption and duration of ICU stay.Timepoint: Extubation time, monitoring of pulse rate, blood pressure SpO2, ECG, Respiratory rate, total fentanyl consumption, duration of mechanical ventilation and duration of ICU stay will be recorded every 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 hours.—
