Brief Summary   To Determine Which Of The Following Two Blocks: Ultrasound Guided Continous Erector Spinae Block And thoracic Epidural Block Is Superior For Postoperative Analgesia In thoracotomy patient. thoracotomy Is A Surgical Procedure Done To open chest cavity to access lungs and other midiastinal organ. Acute Pain After thoracotomy Remains A Major Problem. Chronic Pain Develops in 50 percent   Patients Undergoing thoracotomy Leading To Higher Opiod Consumption With Many Adverse Effects.The Paravertebral Block And Epidural Block Are Common Blocks Used In Different Thoracic And Abdominal Surgeries With Some Complications.Studies Have Found That ESPB Affects Both The Ventral And Dorsal Rami, Leading To Blockage Of Both VIsceral And Somatic Pain. Because ESPB Is An Easy And Safe Method To Use, We Believe That It Is An Essential Part Of Anaesthesia Management For thoracotomy. Thus We Have Planned A Comparative Study Of Continous ESPB Using A Catheter And Continous Epidural Block For Postoperative Analgesia In thoracotomy patient.
