Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  ERECTOR SPINAE PLANE BLOCK (ESP)  in erector spinae plane block- between erector spinae muscle and transverse process of T9, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 0.5mcg/kg dexmedetomidine will be injected using 50mm stimuplex needle under ultrasound guidance between the erector spinae muscle and transverse process of T9. This will be done once on both sides. Duration of intervention will be 10 minutes.

This will be done once on both sides. Duration of intervention will be 10 minutes.
