Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Ultrasound-guided errector spinae plane block  A bilateral ultrasound-guided block with inj. 0.25% Bupivacaine hydrochloride at a dose of 0.3 ml/kg is given. The skilled anesthesiologist will inject the liquid into B/L ESP using ultrasound. Data collection will be done by an anaesthetist blinded to the procedure. 
Intervention  ultrasound-guided midpoint transverse process to pleura block   Bilateral ultrasound-guided block with inj. 0.25% Bupivacaine hydrochloride at a dose of 0.3 ml/kg is given. The skilled anaesthesiologist will inject the liquid into B/L MTP. Data collection will be done by an anaesthetist blinded to the procedure.

Brief Summary   This study is conducted to compare the a perioperative analgesic effect of two USG-guided intervantions named B/L MTP block and B/L ESP block. Each group has 35 patients, ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old, who are scheduled for cardiac surgery via an open sternotomy approach. We use 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride at 0.3 ml/kg in both groups. A skilled anesthesiologist will inject the liquid by using a 22-gauge, 5-cm echogenic needle at a level of 4-5 thoracic vertebrae. A comfort scale-based pain assessment will be performed at skin incision, sternotomy, weaning from bypass, 0 hr of shifting to ICU, 2 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, and at extubation. total fentanyl consumption in 24 hours is also noted
