Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ultrasound guided Erector Spinae plane block VS Serratus Anterior plane block for post operative analgesia in case of Modified Radical Mastectomy operation  To compare post operative pain (using VAS) and time of first rescue analgesia (in min) postoperatively between group received ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block versus Serratus Anterior plane block. The secondary outcome will be comparison of intraoperative Fentanyl requirement half hourly after watching HR,MAP,SBP and DBP , perioprative vital signs like MAP,HR ,then postoperative total analgesia consumption (Tramadol in mg)and overall analgesia satisfaction will be assessed . Also any adverse events occurring during the procedure and time taken will be recorded.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare post operative pain(using VAS)and time of first rescue analgesia(in min)postoperatively between group received ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block versus Serratus Anterior Plane block vs control group.  time of first rescue analgesia(in min)postoperatively between group received ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block versus Serratus Anterior Plane block vs control group. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 

• To determine the total postoperative analgesia consumption (Tramadol in mg) .
• To determine intraoperative fentanyl consumption (by seeing MAP and Heart Rate)half hourly.
• To determine intra and post operative hemodynamics .(HR, SBP, DBP, MAP – 30 mins interval)
• To determine post operative patient satisfaction using satisfaction score[3](4=excellent,3=good,2=fair and 1=poor) .
• To determine the incidence of adverse events( post operative nausea vomitting,delayed post operative recovery , pain at the site injection site , local hematoma formation, adverse effects to local anesthetics , pneumothorax) .  
(HR, SBP, DBP, MAP – 30 mins interval)

Brief Summary   This study will compare the post operative pain using VAS score and time of first rescue analgesia in min postoperatively in case of modified radical mastectomy patients. Patients will be divided into two groups A and B , each group will be given Usg guided Erector spinae plane block and Usg guided Serratus Anterior plane block respectively. The secondary outcome will be comparison of intraoperative fentanyl requirement half hourly after watching HR,MAP,SBP and DBP, peri operative vitals like MAP , HR , then postoperative total analgesia consumption (Tramadol in mg) and overall analgesia satisfaction will be assessed. Also any adverse events occurring during the procedure and time taken will be assessed.
