No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Many counties in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited post-operative nursing capacity, and relatively little data have been published about post-operative maternal pain control in these settings. Cesarean section is the most common type of major operation at our institution, Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), in south-western Uganda.Nursing ward staffing capacity is low, with much basic nursing care provided by families and friends of patients. The investigators conducted a study to examine the impact of ITM versus TAP block in a setting of limited formal nursing oversight.
