Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total dose of pethidine consumption

    Patients get 1 g paracetamol IV like clockwork. Salvage absence of pain as bolus IV pethidine at 0.5 mg/kg was managed if NRS \> 3

    24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Intraoperative fentanyl consumption

    Intraoperatively

  • Heart rate

    Every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery (Up to 2 hours)

  • Mean arterial pressure

    Every 15 minutes until the end of the surgery (Up to 2 hours)

  • Degree of pain

    24 hours postoperatively

  • Incidence of complications

    24 hours postoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Serratus anterior plane block group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients received serratus anterior plane block on the operated side with bupivacaine 0.25% plus 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine in 30 ml.

Drug: Bupivacaine + Dexmedetomidine

Erector spinae plane block group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients received erector spinae plane block at T5 on the operated side and will receive bupivacaine 0.25% plus 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine in 30 ml.

Drug: Bupivacaine + Dexmedetomidine

Interventions

Patients received serratus anterior plane block on the operated side with bupivacaine 0.25% plus 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine in 30 ml.
