No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study hypothesizes that addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine either in spinal anesthesia or TAP block is more effective and provide better ObsQor-11score than bupivacaine alone. Also, Dexmedetomidine in TAP block might provide a longer pain free time in comparison to intrathecal dexmedetomidine.

Conditions

  • The Quality of Recovery (ObsQOR-11)

Interventions

DRUG

Dexmedetomidine

All patients will be assessed clinically and investigated for exclusion of any of the above-mentioned contraindications. The required laboratory work will be: complete blood count (CBC); prothrombin time and concentration (PT\&PC); partial thromboplastin time (PTT); bleeding time (BT); clotting time (CT); liver function tests and kidney function tests. Before arrival to the operation room (OR), women will be premedicated by metoclopramide 10mg and ranitidine 50 mg intravenous. Intra operatively, hemodynamics will be recorded baseline before spinal anaesthesia , after its performance, every 3 minutes until delivery and then every 10 minutes till the end of the CS. Any change within 20% of baseline will be accepted and any changes more than 20% will be managed according to guidelines. All groups will be anaesthetized to preform CS with conventional spinal anaesthesia. The TAP block group will receive a landmark orientated Ultrasound guided bilateral TAP block.
