Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study is to assess the effect of Pterygopalatine fossa block by ultrasound guided technique on postoperative analgesic requirements in 24 hours and also assessing intraoperative haemodynamic changes and comparing with the control group patients without the Pterygopalatine fossa block.As systemic analgesics are insufficient to control post adenotonsillectomy pain,regional anaesthetic technique using local anaesthetics are an option and offer advantages over standard approaches.Ultrasound guided suprazygomatic approach to the maxillary nerve in the Pterygopalatine fossa seems to be the safest in children
