Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group T: Patients will receive USG guided bilateral Transverse thoracic plane block (TTPB) with 0.4ml /kg of 0.25% bupivacaine (2mg/kg) and fentanyl 2mcg/ml on either side.  Bilateral TTPB will be carried using a 6-13MHz linear transducer probe. The probe is placed in the longitudinal plane 1cm lateral to sternal border and T4-T5 intercostal space is identified. A parasternal sagittal view of the internal intercostal muscle and the transversus thoracis muscle will be visualized between the fourth and fifth rib above the pleura. A 22G 38mm needle will be inserted in plane to the transducer with the tip of the needle located in the Transversus Thoracic Plane between the internal intercostal and transversus thoracic muscles. Hydrodissection will be performed by injecting 1 mL of normal saline between the internal intercostal and transversus thoracic muscles. Once the plane is delineated and ruling out intravascular and intrapleural placement, the drug mixture (containing 0.25%bupivacaine with 2mcg/ml of fentanyl) will be administered in aliquots with intermittent negative aspiration. Further widening of the plane, spread of the local anesthetic injection, depression of the pleura confirms the proper placement of needle. This procedure will be repeated on the contralateral side. 
Comparator Agent  Group P: Patients will be given USG guided bilateral paravertebral block (PVB) using 0.4ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine (2mg/kg) and fentanyl 2mcg/ml on either side.  The patient will be placed in the right lateral position. Ultrasound-guided PVB will be performed with the probe placed sagittal on the paravertebral area using in plain technique. The ribs, spinous, and transverse processes of the vertebra, costotransverse joints, and pleura are used as sonographic landmarks. A 22G 38mm needle will be inserted in plane to the transducer with the tip of the needle in the paravertebral space, with negative aspiration for blood and air the drug mixture (0.25%bupivacaine with fentanyl 2mcg/ml) will be administered with intermittent negative aspiration, the injection of the local anesthetic will be visualized in real-time and confirmed with pleural depression. This procedure will be repeated on the contralateral side.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Median sternotomy in cardiac surgery is very painful. Hence need of regional block which can spare opoid use specially in pediatric age group. Hence we are comparing two truncal blocks and its post operative opoid requirements along with intra op hemodynamic changes, pain score in the ICU stay. Here we are comparing Ultrasound guided Paravertebral block and Transversus thoracic plane block containing Bupivacaine and fentanyl. The results will be analysed and discussed.
