Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia in JN Medical College and Hospital in time periods between 2022-24. ASA grade I and II. BMI between 18 to 25kg/sq.m

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Duration of post-operative analgesia.Timepoint: It will be assessed as time from the time of extubation to the time when patient request for the first dose of analgesic.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Complications- allergic reactions, nausea/vomiting, unsuccessful block, accidental intra-vascular injection & itâ??s consequences and pneumothorax.Timepoint: Postoperatively, in first 24 hours.;NRS score for assessing post operative painTimepoint: First recording will be recorded in recovery room when patient will be well oriented to time place and person. It will be taken as 0 hour. Then it will be taken at 2nd hour, 6th hour and 24th hour. Further, mean of the four values will be taken.;Total analgesic required in 24hr periodTimepoint: Rescue analgesic when patient complains of pain with NRS score more than 3 (with minimum interval of 6 hours between two doses). Total doses of analgesic required by patient in 24 hours post-operatively will be calculated in morphine milligram equivalent dosage.	—
