Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study and compare the duration of post operative analgesia following addition of dexamethasone ( 0.15 mg/kg) or dexmedetomidine ( 1mcg/kg) to ropivacaine versus plain ropivacaine in ESPB following thoracic surgeries ( open /VATS)Timepoint: The post operative pain score would be assessed 3 hours 12 hours, 24 hours and 36 hours after the procedure—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare and assess the following in the group R (plain ropivacaine 0.4ml/kg of 0.5% ropivacaine), group RD (0.4ml/kg of 0.5% ropivacaine + 0.15 mg/kg dexamethasone) and group RDM (0.4ml/kg 0f 0.5% ropivacaine + 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine) 1. The requirement of intra operative analgesic 2. The number of rescue analgesics required in first 24 hours 3. Parental satisfactionTimepoint: To assess the number of intra op rescue analgesics required and to assess post op PAIN score—
