Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group A : Patients will receive Erector Plane Block with LA 0.3% Ropivacaine Alone.  The block will be performed after induction of general anaesthesia. With the patient in the prone position, USG-guided ESPB will be performed using a linear array probe of 6-13 MHz frequency. Initially the T4 spinous process will be marked marked with skin, by counting downwards from the C7 spinous process. Then the probe will be placed in longitudinal parasagittal orientation 3 cm lateral to the midline to identify the tip of the transverse process . The Epidural (Tuohy) needle 18 G will be inserted in the cranial to caudal direction in-plane with the ultrasound beam to gently contact the Transverse process. . Correct needle tip position will be verified by injection of 0.5 to 1 ml of 0.9% normal saline and visualisation of linear spread of injectate solution separating the erector spinae muscle from the transverse processes . Then, either 20 ml of ropivacaine 0.375% Alone will be injected just below the erector spinae muscle, just above the transverse process.  
Intervention  The patients selected for the study will be randomly divided into two Groups A and B using Group A : Patients will receive Erector Plane Block with LA Alone. Group B: Patients will receive Erector Plane Block with Local Anesthetic 0.3% ropivacaine and added clonidine   The block will be performed after induction of general anaesthesia. With the patient in the prone position, USG-guided ESPB will be performed using a linear array probe of 6-13 MHz frequency. Initially the T4 spinous process will be marked marked with skin, by counting downwards from the C7 spinous process. Then the probe will be placed in longitudinal parasagittal orientation 3 cm lateral to the midline to identify the tip of the transverse process . The Epidural (Tuohy) needle 18 G will be inserted in the cranial to caudal direction in-plane with the ultrasound beam to gently contact the Transverse process. . Correct needle tip position will be verified by injection of 0.5 to 1 ml of 0.9% normal saline and visualisation of linear spread of injectate solution separating the erector spinae muscle from the transverse processes . Then, either 20 ml of ropivacaine 0.375% with adjuvant clonidine will be injected just below the erector spinae muscle, just above the transverse process.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study will assess the significance of adding clonidine to the anesthetic mixture for women undergoing breast surgery under ESPB in terms of opioid and other analgesic consumption. secondary objectives were to  assess pain scores, perioperative hemodynamic stability , return to daily activity.
