Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the postoperative pain intensity (by Numerical Rating Scale) between the groups.Timepoint: Baseline, 0,5,10,15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150,165,180,195,210 minutes	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the intraoperative hemodynamic profile between the groups (HR, SBP, DBP and MAP) at various time points.Timepoint: 0,5,10,15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150,165,180,195,210 minutes;To compare the time to demand of first rescue analgesia and the total dose of rescue analgesia in first 48 hours post operatively between the groupsTimepoint: post operative period;To note any adverse events such as allergic reactions, local anaesthetic toxicity, infection, hematoma, Horner s syndrome and phrenic nerve palsyTimepoint: in post operative period 48 hours;To assess the quality of recovery of the patient using the QoR-15 score in the postoperative period.Timepoint: in post operative period 48 hours	—
