Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To determine & compare the duration of post-operative analgesia.The duration will be taken as time from institution of block till the requirement of rescue analgesia.Timepoint: Patients will be assesed for pain using VAS scale after every 2 hours till 12 hours & then every 4 hours till 24 hours postoperatively.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1.To determine patient procedure comfort level with grading from 0 to 3 where 0 means anxious & uncomfortable & feeling pain throught the procedure.1means anxious and feeling uncomfortable during needle manipulation.2 means relaxed and comfortable during the procedure but anxious about the outcome.3means relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure and positive about the outcome.2 To assess patient satisfaction score after 24 hours of block placement.This will be grade as 0 means not satisfactory.1means neutral.2means satisfactory3means optimal patient will recommend the procedure to fellow patients.Timepoint: 3.Total number of rescue analgesia in the form of injection tramadol consumed in first 24 hours.	—
