Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of analgesia

    duration of anesthesia and Block-skin incision time differ between two groups (two concentrations of bupivacaine)

    duration of operation up to 6 hours

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • The diaphragmatic motions measured by M-mode ultrasonography

    duration of operation up to 6 hours

  • Total postoperative Morphine consumption.

    24 hours

  • The postoperative VAS score

    24 hours

  • Hemodynamics

    duration of operation up to 6 hours

  • opioid consumption.

    duration of operation up to 6 hours

Study Arms (2)

Group H

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient's head was rested on a pillow and turned to the opposite side. A linear probe with higher frequencies was placed transversely over the midpoint of the SCM muscle. The carotid artery was identified and traced upwards to its bifurcation. Probe was then moved laterally to identify the tapering posterolateral end of the SCM muscle. Via an in-plane technique, a 22-gauge, 50 mm needle was advanced underneath the investing fascia of SCM muscle and above the interscalene groove until the "pop" on piercing the investing fascia was felt. Group H received 20 ml 0.25 % bupivacaine

Procedure: Cervical Plexus Block

Group L received 20 ml 0.125% bupivacaine
