Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Erector Spinae Plane Block  The Erector Spinae Plane block will be performed after induction with the patient in the lateral decubitus position by an experienced anesthesiologist. The lower end of the scapula and the spinous process of the T7 vertebra will be located while the patient lies in a lateral position. These areas will be then cleaned and sterilized with povidone iodine. A high-frequency linear ultrasound (US) probe shielded with a sterile sheath will be placed sagittal on the spinous process of the T7 vertebra, and then slid 3-em laterally in the parasagittal region. After the transverse process of the vertebra is visualized, a 100 mm, 22-gauge echogenic block needle will be advanced toward the interfascial plane between the erector spinae and the transverse process. Consequently, the separation caused by hydrodissection will be confirmed by administering 0.5-1 mL of normal saline. Then, a pre-prepared solution of 0.3 ml/kg of 0.25 % Bupivacaine (max. 20ml) will be injected into the space bilaterally. The craniocaudal spreading of the local anesthetic will be observed. The total duration of block intervention will be around 10-15 min. After completion of the ESP block, surgery will commence followed by block characteristics follow up till 24 hours including post operative analgesia and stress responses. 
Comparator Agent  Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Block   Subcostal Transversus Abdominis block will be performed after induction with the patient in the supine position by an experienced anesthesiologist. The USG probe will be placed on the upper abdominal wall obliquely along the subcostal edge close to the midline. After identification of the Rectus Abdominis muscle (RAM), by shifting the probe obliquely along the subcostal line toward the lateral, the Transverses Abdominis muscle (TAM) will be located below the RAM. With the USG probe, a 100 mm, 22- gauge echogenic block needle will be placed between the RAM and TAM in the same plane (in-plane technique). A pre- prepared solution of 0.3ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine (max. 20 ml) will be injected between these two muscles and observed to spread toward the lateral side of the RAM bilaterally. The total duration of block intervention will be around 10-15 min. After completion of the TAP block, surgery will commence followed by block characteristics follow up till 24 hours including post operative analgesia and stress responses.

Brief Summary   We are comparing Erector Spinae Plane Block with Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Block for post operative analgesia in patients posted for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Lok Nayak Hospital Delhi. A total of 40 patients with 20 patients in each group will be enrolled for the study. Patients will be explained about the study and written informed consent will be taken. We will be using standard general anesthesia for induction of the patients following which USG guided block site will be identified and local anesthetic drug will be administered. Patients will be followed up post operatively for 24 hours during which numerical rating scale for pain and time for first supplemental analgesia will determined. Overall patient satisfaction score will also be assesed .
