Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The effect of post-operative analgesia of erector spinal plane (ESP) block and pecto-intercostal fascial (PICF) block in pediatric cardiac surgeries using modified objective pain score(MOPS).  When extubation criteria met, patient will be extubated and post-op pain assessment will be done at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hrs.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
● To observe intra operative and post operative opioid requirement and additional analgesic requirements.
● To observe the duration of analgesia in both groups.
● To observe adverse events, if any. 
At 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hrs.

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

       Post operative pain after cardiac surgery is difficult to assess in pediatric patients and pain management is also incomplete as sometimes verbal communication is not possible in pediatric patients.

       Inadequate pain control following sternotomy can result in adverse haemodynamic consequences and pulmonary complications, furthermore opioid analgesics may cause respiratory depression and apnoea in pediatric patients.

      With the introduction of newer fascial plane blocks such as erector spinae plane block(ESP) and pecto-intercostal fascial(PICF) block, the requirement of opioid analgesics can be minimized and complications of opioid analgesics can be avoided as these fascial plane blocks can produce excellent analgesia with the help of ultrasound guidance.

       The present study is conducted to evaluate the effect of post- operative analgesia of Ultrasound guided erector spinal plane (ESP) block and pecto-intercostal fascial (PICF) block in pediatric cardiac surgeries.
