Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
evaluate and compare the cumulative postoperative analgesic requirement (Fentanyl) within the initial 24 hours between two groups: one receiving Thoracic Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block (TTMPB) , and the other receiving Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB)Timepoint: 24hrs

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the time to first rescue analgesic (Fentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg) in each group (in min) to relate to the pain free time. To assess the analgesic efficacy of TTPMB & ESPB as measured by 11point NRS scores at 0,6,12 & 24 hrs. post extubation. To assess & compare the incidence of any complications or adverse events (hematoma, infection, pneumothorax, pericardial effusion etc.)Timepoint: 0,6,12,24 hrs
