Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the quality and effectiveness of postoperative pain relief offered by ultrasound guided bilateral single shot parasternal pecto-intercostal fascial block after tracheal extubation, when the block would be administered before surgical incision providing preemptive analgesiaTimepoint: A) At Tracheal Extubation B) Therareafter at 4 hourly interval upto 24 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
. Effects of the blockade on sedation, ventilation and requirement of concomitant analgesics To assess the patient cooperation and patient comfort while performing the deep inspiratory exercises, coughing, and incentive spirometry, in the immediate post Tracheal-extubation period. Timepoint: A) At Tracheal Extubation B) Therareafter at 4hourly intervals upto 24 hours.
