A physician not involved in patient management will be responsible for opening the envelope and give the instructions contained within each envelope to the anaesthesiologist who is expert in doing the serratus anterior plane block in patients included within the block group. This expert anaesthesiologist will not be involved in collecting data but another anaesthesia doctor will be responsible for patient management and collecting the intraoperative and postoperative data.Primary Purpose: Treatment

It is a prospective randomized controlled study. It is designed to estimate and compare the analgesic effect of single shot serratus anterior plane block in pediatric patients undergoing thoracic surgeries with fentanyl infusion versus fentanyl infusion alone as the control group. Our primary outcome will be the total dose of intra-operative fentanyl boluses. Randomization will be achieved by using an online random number generator. Blindness will be achieved by patient codes which will be placed into sequentially numbered sealed opaque envelopes by a research assistant who is not involved in the study. A physician not involved in patient management will be responsible for opening the envelope and give the instructions contained within each envelope to the anaesthesiologist who is expert in doing the serratus anterior plane block in patients included within the block group. This expert anaesthesiologist will not be involved in collecting data but another anaesthesia doctor will be responsible for patient management and collecting the intraoperative and postoperative data.
