Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
A total of  70 patients belonging to age group 6months to 7years ,  ASA class I and II scheduled for cleft palate repair procedures will be prospectively studied. In this double-blinded randomized control trial, a total of  70 participants  will be allocated into two groups - GROUP A ( ultrasound guidance) and GROUP B(anatomical landmark technique). Both groups  will recieve block with 0.25% Ropivacaine(2mg/kg) with Dexmedetomidine(0.3mcg/kg) with  maximal dose of 5ml(on each side) in paediatrics patients undergoing  cleft palate  repair. All children will be assessed for primary outcomes of postoperative pain (FLACC score) . Data collection will be done by observation and measurement of various parameters.
