Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the total amount of postoperative rescue analgesia (IV fentanyl) requirement during first 24hrs in External Oblique Intercoastal block and Erector Spinae Plane block groups Timepoint: at 24 hours	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To compare the intraoperative IV fentanyl requirements in both the groups 2. To compare the time of first rescue analgesia requirement in both the groups 3. To compare the IV fentanyl requirements at 48 hours in both the groups 4. To compare the time taken for procedure in both the groups 5. To compare the postoperative pain using NRS in both the groups 6. To compare the intraoperative fluid administered in both the groups. 7. To compare the rate of complications in both the groupsTimepoint: 1. Fentanyl consumption 48 hours 2. Numerical rating scale at Extubation, at 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 4hr, 5hr, 6hr, 12hr, 24hr, 36hr, 48hr.	—
