Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control group  In this group, anaesthesia will be maintained as per standard techniques. At the end of the procedure, the port site and intercostal drainage tube [ICD] insertion site will be infiltrated with 2-3 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine. Patient will be observed for 1st 24-hour post operatively. 
Intervention  Erector spinae plane block  Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block will be performed after induction with the patient in the lateral position by an experienced anaesthesiologist. Under all aseptic precautions, a high frequency linear ultrasound transducer will be placed in the paraspinal region, longitudinally oriented and lateral to the thoracic [T4-T6] spinous process. A 20G,50mm nerve block needle will be inserted in the craniocaudal direction deeper to the erector spinae muscle. After confirming the needle position by hydro dissection with 0.5 ml saline, injection of 0.25% bupivacaine 0.5 ml/kg will be administered in the fascial plane under the erector spinae muscle. After completion of block surgery will commence and observed till 1st 24hr post operatively

Brief Summary   We are evaluating the effect of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block on intra operative opioid requirement in children undergoing Video Assisted Thoracoscopic surgery [VATS] under general anaesthesia in Lok Nayak Hospital and associated Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. A total of 14 patients with 7 patients in each group will be enrolled for the study. Patients guardian/parent will be explained about the study and written informed consent will be obtained from the parent/guardian. We will be using standard general anaesthesia for induction of the patients following which ultrasound guided block site will be identified and local anaesthetic drug will be administered in the erector spinae plane block group. The mean intraoperative opioid requirement in both the groups[Erector spinae plane block group/Control group] will be calculated. Patients will be followed up postoperatively for 24 hours, during which the VAS/FLACC scale score for pain and the number of doses of analgesia required in the first 24 hours will be determined.
