Study Arms (2)

Erector spinae plane block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive a US-guided ESPB

Procedure: Erector spinae plane block

Retrolaminar block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive a US-guided RLB

Procedure: Retrolaminar block

Interventions

Under aseptic precautions, the ultrasound transducer will be placed on the patient's back in a longitudinal paramedian orientation approximately 3 cm from the midline. A short-bevel, 80 mm 22-gauge insulated nerve block needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach to contact the tip of the T4 transverse process , After negative aspiration of blood, a total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected through the needle. Adequacy of the block will be confirmed by ultrasonographic visualization of fluid spread (seen as a lifting of the erector spina muscles in both block) and after 15 min, documenting the sensory blockade will be done by using a piece of ice or cold object. If the desired sensory level fails to be achieved (T4 - T8), patients will be excluded from the study.

Erector spinae plane block

Under aseptic precautions, the ultrasound transducer will be placed on the patient's back in a longitudinal paramedian orientation approximately 1 cm from the midline. A short-bevel, 80 mm 22-gauge insulated nerve block needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach to contact T4 lamina of the vertebra , After negative aspiration of blood, a total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected through the needle. And after 15 min, documenting the sensory blockade will be done by using a piece of ice or cold object. If the desired sensory level fails to be achieved (T4 - T8), patients will be excluded from the study.

Masking Details
Patients will be randomized using a computer-generated list of random numbers, which will be sealed in closed envelopes. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups; Group I (E) will receive a US-guided ESPB, while Group II (R) will receive a US-guided RLB. An anesthesiologist who is not involved in the data collection team will perform all nerve blocks. Intra- and postoperative data will be collected by an anesthesiologist or intensivist who is blinded to the study protocol.
