Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Opioid based general anesthesia  All patients in this group will receive fentanyl 2 mcg/kg, five minutes prior to induction of general anesthesia and repeated every one hour with 1 mcg/kg fentanyl. BIS value will be maintained between 50-60. If tachycardia with BIS in targeted range is present then 20 mcg fentanyl will be given repeated upto a maximum of three times.  
Intervention  Opioid free general anesthesia  All patients in this group will receive Erector spinae plane block before induction. Dexmedetomidine infusion 0.5 mcg/kg/hr will be started 10 minutes prior to induction and continued throughout the intra operative period in a range of 0.3-0.7 mcg/kg/hr.Magnesium sulfate 40 mg/kg will be given over 10 minutes after induction. BIS value will be maintained between 50-60. if tachycardia with BIS in targeted range is present then after maximum dose of dexmedetomidine infusion is reached,ketamine 10 mg bolus will be given till a maximum of 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine is given.

Brief Summary    Acute postoperative pain due to ineffective pain control is a major risk factor for the development of chronic pain after breast surgery. Opiods has been an integral part of pain management during the perioperative period. But, in recent times, there has been a move toward opioid‑free anesthesia (OFA) to achieve the goals of hypnosis with amnesia and sympathetic stability without the adverse effects of opioids like respiratory depression, excessive sedation, pruritus and nausea vomiting. Various methods, such as regional blocks, and drugs, such as lignocaine, dexmedetomidine, ketamine, etc., can be employed to preclude the use of opioids. There is very limited data on the use of opioid free anesthesia in breast surgery. Hence in this study we plan to compare the analgesic efficacy of opioid free general anesthesia with opioid based general anesthesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
