Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare quality of postoperative analgesia in USG guided ESPB (Erector spinae plane block) with open ICNB (intercostal nerve block) in patient undergoing decortication surgery and to compare pain score measured by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) at 3,6,12 and 24 hours postoperatively between two groupTimepoint: 4 point assessment at 3,6,12 and 24 hours postoperatively between two group—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare required analgesia dose in postoperative period in the both groups Post operative hemodynamic vitals like blood pressure & pulse rate Post operative lung function measured by MPEFR Maximum Peak Expiratory Flow Rate Any other adverse eventTimepoint: 4 point assessment at 3,6,12 & 24 hours postoperatively between two group—
