Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the postoperative fentanyl consumption at 24 hours between the external oblique intercostal plane block and Erector spinae plane block groupsTimepoint: upto 24 hours in the post operative period	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the intraoperative IV fentanyl requirements in both the groups. To compare the postoperative pain using NRS in both the groups To compare the time of first rescue analgesia requirement in both the groups To compare intraoperative fluid administered in both groups To compare the rate of complications in both the groups (respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, pruritis) Timepoint: upto first 48 hours after surgery	—
