Summary
Objective: To compare Trans Abdominis Plane block in providing post cesarean analgesia with
control group, in terms of mean postoperative use of Opioids.
Study design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and duration Department of Anesthesiology,
Combined Military Hospital, Sargodha, 25th February 2021 to 25th April 2021.
Materials and methods: A total of 60 female patients, who are planned to undergo elective c
section and aged between 20-45 will be selected randomly and divided into two groups ( A and
B) with 30pts each group. In Group A, at the end of surgery, TAP block will be given with
20ml of 0.25%bupvicaine via ultrasound guided sub-costal approach on both sides of midline.
Time of TAP block will be recorded as time 0. Our outcomes will be: mean postoperative
consumption of opioids and VAS score within 24hrs of surgery. Independent t test will be used
to compare group A and B in terms of mean usage of tramadol within 24hrs of surgery. P value
<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
