Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  SERRATUS ANTERIOR PLANE BLOCK   The block is performed with drug 0.125% ROPIVACAINE WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE 20 MCG. Total volume of the drug taken is 30 ml . So, 30 ml of drug contains 37.5 mg of Ropivacaine along with dexmeditomedine 20 micrograms.The block is performed only once before starting the surgical incision and may take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes to administer the block. 
Comparator Agent  SERRATUS ANTERIOR PLANE BLOCK   The block is performed with drugs 0.125% BUPIVACAINE WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE 20 MCG.The block is performed with drug 0.125% BUPIVACAINE WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE 20 MCG. Total volume of the drug taken is 30 ml . So, 30 ml of drug contains 37.5 mg of Bupivacaine along with dexmeditomedine 20 micrograms.The block is performed only once before starting the surgical incision and may take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes to administer the block.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block for patients undergoing breast surgeries using Dexmedetomidine 20 mcg in Ropivacaine 0.125% or Bupivacaine 0.125% intraoperative based on hemodynamic changes and post operative analgesia requirement based on NRS score
 
AFTER THE BLOCK,Intraoperative monitoring will begin at induction, followed by checks after LMA insertion, at incision, and then at 5, 10 minutes, and every 30 minutes until the end of surgery. Postoperative monitoring will include checks immediately after surgery, at 10 minutes, 1 hour, and then every 2 hours until the first rescue analgesia that is at NRS SCORE 5 is given.At this point assessment will end. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare & evaluate time of first rescue analgesia on the basis of NRS score
 
Postoperative monitoring will include checks immediately after surgery, at 10 minutes, 1 hour, & then every 2 hours until the first rescue analgesia is given which is given at NRS score more than 5.At this point assessment will end.

Brief Summary   60 ASA(American  society of anesthesiogists) grade I ,II and III  patients planned for elective breast surgery,fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. A day before surgery all patients with PAC (pre anaesthetic check-up) done will be reassessed and will be explained the anesthetic procedure. Patients will be explained about the procedure and due risks involved in their own local language and informed consent for the same will be taken. Local sensitivity testing will be done for patients to rule out hypersensitivity reactions to drugs used. Patient will be kept NBM (nil by mouth) for 6 hours before surgery. Patient will be premedicated with inj.Glycopyrollate 0.2 mg + inj.Midazolam 1mg. and preoxygenated with 100% Oxygen  Patient will be induced with Inj. Fentanyl 2 mcg/kg + Inj. Propofol 2 mg/kg and patients airway will be secured with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) of appropriate size . For maintenance of anesthesia , inj.Propofol infusion 50-100 mcg/kg/min. + inhalational agent isoflurane will be  given. After securing airway, block will be given using either Ropivacaine 0.125 % with Dexmedetomidine 20 mcg and Bupivacaine 0.125% with Dexmedetomidine 20 mcg with 30 ml of drug volume in each group in accordance with grouping of cases. In SAP block —> needle is inserted in plane from medial to lateral direction in 4th rib in mid axillary line—> deposit Local anesthesia in plane between pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscle—> lateral cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves are blocked(5) In serratus anterior plane block , injection is given superficial between the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles at the level of the fifth rib on the midaxillary line which blocks the  lateral cutaneous branch of the intercostal nerve and the long thoracic nerve . The block is performed with the help of a high frequency ( 6 to 13 MHz) linear transducer probe which will allow detailed visualization of superficial structures. If the effect of serratus anterior plane block is not appropriate during intraoperative time , which will be assessed by change in hemodynamic parameters with 20% increase from baseline being considered as significant , then additional analgesia (inj.Fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg) will be given and such cases will be excluded from the study . Intraoperative monitoring will be done starting from incision time and then at appropriate incremental intervals till end of surgery Postoperative hemodynamic changes will be noted at appropriate incremental intervals till first rescue analgesia is given. Rescue analgesia will be given with inj.Paracetamol 1 g IV stat when NRS score > 5 postoperatively. Postoperative adverse effects if any will be noted and managed accordingly.
