INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Experimental Group PECS II block 0.25 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25% on each side once Patients will receive PECS II block as ultrasound probe will be placed at the midclavicular level oriented inferolateral to locate the axillary artery and vein and then moved laterally toward the axilla until pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, and serratus anterior muscles were identified at the level of the fourth rib. The needle was inserted in-plane concerning the ultrasound probe. A volume of 0.5ml/kg of bupivacaine 0.25% will be deposited in the fascial plane between the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior muscle. 20
Control Group on block control nil nil This group will recieve standard care of perioperative analgesia in the form of intraoperative fentanyl. and postoperative paracetamol and fentanyl in cases of breakthrough pain 20 Uncontrolled
