Conditions

  • Pain Control

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TAP block using Bupivacaine 0.5%

Following completion of the Cesarean delivery, the abdomen was aseptically prepped with ChloraPrep®. A Sonosite ultrasound machine (S-nerve) with a 14-8 MHz linear probe was used to visualize the lateral abdominal wall muscles and transversus abdominis plane. A 2 or 4 inch stimuplex (Braun) needle was advanced under ultrasound guidance to the transversus abdominis plane. After negative aspiration, 15 ml of Bupivacaine 0.5% was incrementally injected on each side. The spread of solution within the transversus abdominis plane was visualized with the ultrasound.

PROCEDURE

TAP block using Bupivacaine 0.25%

Following completion of the Cesarean delivery, the abdomen was aseptically prepped with ChloraPrep®. A Sonosite ultrasound machine (S-nerve) with a 14-8 MHz linear probe was used to visualize the lateral abdominal wall muscles and transversus abdominis plane. A 2 or 4 inch stimuplex (Braun) needle was advanced under ultrasound guidance to the transversus abdominis plane. After negative aspiration, 15 ml of Bupivacaine 0.25% was incrementally injected on each side. The spread of solution within the transversus abdominis plane was visualized with the ultrasound.

PROCEDURE

TAP block using Normal Saline

Following completion of the Cesarean delivery, the abdomen was aseptically prepped with ChloraPrep®. A Sonosite ultrasound machine (S-nerve) with a 14-8 MHz linear probe was used to visualize the lateral abdominal wall muscles and transversus abdominis plane. A 2 or 4 inch stimuplex (Braun) needle was advanced under ultrasound guidance to the transversus abdominis plane. After negative aspiration, 15 ml of normal saline was incrementally injected on each side. The spread of solution within the transversus abdominis plane was visualized with the ultrasound.
