Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  LK Group - Patient allotted group LK will receive 18 ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine & 2 ml Ketamine as study drug in Subcostal TAP block.  USG guided Subcostal TAP block with Levobupivacaine with Ketamine on either side. The study drug will be prepared using 18ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine with 2 mL Ketamine. Following skin disinfection, high frequency linear transducer probe will be positioned alongside the lower margin of rib cage & maneuvered. The target for needle insertion will be the fascial plane between the posterior rectus sheath & transversus abdominis muscle. After satisfactory imaging, a 22G, 10-cm sterile nerve stimulator puncture needle of will be inserted above the rectus abdominis muscle close to midline & advanced from lateral to medial in an in-plane technique. The end point of the injection is the spread of local anesthetic in the fascial plane between the posterior rectus sheath & the anterior margins of transversus abdominis muscle. Hydro dissection using 2 ml of normal saline will be used to identify the correct plane, following which 20 ml of the prepared study drug will be deposited, and the block will be repeated on the opposite side. Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale [NRS] on a scale from 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain]. NRS scores will be noted from the PACU, and then at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, & 24 hours postoperatively. NRS score 4 will be considered significant. Duration 24 hours 
Comparator Agent  LN Group - Patient allotted group LN will receive 18 ml of 0.5% Levobupivacaine & 2 ml Nalbuphine as study drug in Subcostal TAP block.   USG guided Subcostal TAP block with Levobupivacaine with Nalbuphine on either side. The study drug will be prepared using 18ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine with 2 mL Nalbuphine. Following skin disinfection, high frequency linear transducer probe will be positioned alongside the lower margin of rib cage & maneuvered. The target for needle insertion will be the fascial plane between the posterior rectus sheath & transversus abdominis muscle. After satisfactory imaging, a 22G, 10-cm sterile nerve stimulator puncture needle of will be inserted above the rectus abdominis muscle close to midline & advanced from lateral to medial in an in-plane technique. The end point of the injection is the spread of local anesthetic in the fascial plane between the posterior rectus sheath & the anterior margins of transversus abdominis muscle. Hydro dissection using 2 ml of normal saline will be used to identify the correct plane, following which 20 ml of the prepared study drug will be deposited, and the block will be repeated on the opposite side. Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale [NRS] on a scale from 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain]. NRS scores will be noted from the PACU, and then at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, & 24 hours postoperatively. NRS score 4 will be considered significant. Duration 24 hours 
Intervention  SUBCOSTAL TRANSVERSUS ABDOMINIS PLANE BLOCK  The enrolled patients will be randomly allocated via computer generated randomization into two groups. Patients will receive USG guided Subcostal transversus abdominis plane block with study drug on either side by an experienced anesthesiologist not involved in the assessment of post-operative pain based on allotment from sealed envelopes. Post-operative pain will be assessed using the Numerical Rating scale (NRS) on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). NRS scores will be noted from the PACU, and then at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, & 24 hours postoperatively. NRS score 4 will be considered significant. Intravenous Tramadol 1 mg/kg in 100ml NS infusion will be given as rescue analgesia whenever a patient complained of pain and the NRS score 4. The time of the first request for rescue analgesia and total Tramadol consumption in the first 24 hours postoperative period will be recorded. Duration - 24 hours

Brief Summary   This study is a randomized control, double blinded trial comparing the analgesic efficacy of nalbuphine versus ketamine as an adjunct to levobupivacaine in USG guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy that is being conducted in AIIMS Raebareli. The primary outcome is to compare the duration of analgesia, the time until rescue analgesia & the amount of rescue analgesia between the two subgroups & to compare any hemodynamic parametric differences between the two groups.
