Brief Summary  
Introduction: Erector spinae plane block is a novel technique of analgesia especially in the thoracic dermatomes. Multiple studies have been done in the past but for sternotomy in cardiac surgeries. Their is a paucity in literature for its analgesic response in thoracotomy and lung surgeries. we thought it would be worthwhile to compare its analgesic efficacy with that of conventional thoracic epidural technique and also to look for any complications or side effects if any.
AIM : To study the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block and continous thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing thoracotomy surgeries
Methodology: patient will be induced using standard general anaesthesia technique followed by administration of erector spinae plane block or thoracic epidural depending upon whichever group the patient is alloted to which will be decided by randomisation using sealed envelope technique. The principal investigator will be administering the block and the assesor will be coinvestigator who will be blinded regarding the procedure. The data will be assessed by a third investigator who is unaware of the group allotment, block administered and the data collected.
Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS of current version. continuous variables will be measured according to appropriate tools of analysis.
Limitations: postoperative pain after 48 hours will not be analysed.
Pain during movement or positioning will not be analysed.
Patient requiring prolong ventilation (>48hours) or patient re intubated in first 48 hours will be excluded from the study.
