No results posted yet for this study

Summary

TAP block provided increased postoperative analgesia and reduced analgesic requirements as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen.

The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of single low dose of intravenous MgSO4 versus intravenous dexamethasone as adjuvants to ultrasound guided TAP block for prolongation of postcesaren analgesia

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block

Using an 18 G Tuohy needle (80 mm Smiths medical Portex®) and the layers of the abdominal wall will be identified guided by superficial high-frequency 45 mm linear array ultrasound probe (13 MHz) as described by McDonnell and colleagues.(1) Twenty millilitre of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected slowly after careful aspiration to ensure no vascular injury has occurred. Successful injection will produce an echo-lucent space between the muscle layers (internal oblique and transversus abdominis). All TAP blocks will be performed by the same anesthetist.
