Abstract

Background: The present study was conducted to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Transversus abdominis plane block after caesarean section and to compare it with patients who were managed conventionally without the TAP Block.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted as a comparative study at Department of Anaesthesiology, Hamidia Hospital for a period of 1 year among 100 females undergoing caesarean section. All the selected women were randomly divided into two groups of 50 patients each. Hemodynamic parameters, pain and postoperative analgesic requirement was observed and compared between two groups.
Results: Pain at various interval of time was significantly lower in TAP block group as compared to control group (p<0> Conclusion: TAP block is effective in providing postoperative analgesia among women undergoing LSCS. It is one of the excellent multimodal analgesia technique and significantly reduces the opioid requirements during postoperative period. TAP block was easy to perform, and provided reliable and effective analgesia in this study, and no complications due to the TAP block were detected.
