Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the effect of levobupavacaine only and levobupivacaine with clonidine in erector spinae plane block for post operative anaigesia in patients undergoing open cholesystectomy.Using clonidine as adjuvant may increase the period of postoperative analgesia.   The quality of post operative analgesia will be assessed by using VAS at 15 min, 30 min and thereafter every 30 minutes till patient complains of VAS more than 4.Inj pentazocin 0.5 mg/kg will be administered intramuscularly when patients complains of VAS more than 4. If pain is not relieved 45 mins after pentazocin then 75 mg of diclofenac sodium will be administered intramuscularly as rescue analgesia.Total dose of analgesic drug will be calculated for first 24 hrs of after surgery. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
to find out total amount of analgesic drugs used by patient in postoperative period in first 24 hrs.  VAS score will be assessed at 15 mins, 30 mins and thereafter every 30 minutes till the VAS score becoms more than 4.then toatl amount of analgesics drugs will be calculated in first 24 hrs after completion of surgery.

Brief Summary   PROPOSED TOPIC OF RESEARCH:

COMPARISON BETWEEN 0.25% LEVOBUPIVACAINE AND 0.25% LEVOBUPIVACAINE WITH CLONIDINE IN ERECTOR SPINAE PLANE BLOCK IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING OPEN CHOLECYSTECTOMY: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED DOUBLE BLINDED STUDY.



OBJECTIVE OF PROPOSED RESEARCH:

Comparison between duration and dosage of post-operative analgesia in first 24 hours with 0.25% levobupivacaine with and without clonidine in erector spinae block in open cholecystectomy. 



BACKGROUND OF PRESENT STUDY:

Patients undergoing elective open cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, experience varying degrees of pain and discomfort at the site of surgery during post-operative period despite of using systemic opioid and nonopioid analgesics. Post-operative subcostal pain impairs respiratory dynamics resulting in postoperative respiratory complications. So, patients usually require supplementation of local anaesthetic in various methods like local infiltration, intercostals nerve block etc. to decrease post-operative pain and discomfort in addition to general anaesthesia. The erector spinae plane block is a newer regional anaesthetic technique that can be used to provide analgesia for many surgical procedures or to manage acute or chronic pain.



METHODOLOGY:

This is a hospital based, double blinded, prospective, randomized study on patients posted for open cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia with 0.25 % levobupivacaine as an agent for erector spinae plane block with or without clonidine as an adjuvant in surgical operating rooms and post-operative ward of the general surgery department of Midnapore Medical College & Hospital, Paschim Medinipur for a period of 12 months.



EXPECTED OUTCOME:

Erector spinae plane block will increase the duration of post-operative analgesia and reduce the use of post-operative analgesic drugs. We expect patients receiving clonidine as adjuvant with levobupivacaine (group B) will have a longer duration post-operative analgesia compared to patients receiving only levobupivacaine (group A)
