Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition

Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Erector spinae fascial plane block  USG guided Erector spinae fascial plane block will be given using 0.4ml/kg Ropivacaine 0.25% + 1mcg/kg Fentanyl (max 30ml). Patient will be monitored vigilantly and then taken for General Anaesthesia. If the block is not effective I.e if patient has intra operative tachycardia or hypertension more than 20% from the baseline for more than 5-10mins or if the patient requires intra op Fentanyl then those patients will be excluded from the study. 
Comparator Agent  Serratus anterior fascial plane block   USG guided Serratus anterior fascial plane block will be given using 0.4ml/kg Ropivacaine + 1mcg/kg Fentanyl (max 30ml). Patient will be monitored vigilantly and then taken for General anaesthesia. If the block is not effective I.e if patient has intra operative tachycardia or hypertension more than 20 % from the baseline for more than 5-10mins or if the patient requires intra op Fentanyl then those patients will be excluded from the study.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Post op pain scores [Time frame: 24 hours post op] Patients level of post op pain will be evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS).

Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomised interventional parallel group trail where patients will be divided in two groups. We will compare the efficacy of Serratus anterior vs Erector spinae fascial plane block along with General anaesthesia for breast cancer surgery. Also we will assess the decrease in the use of intra operative and post operative analgesics.
