About

The study will compare the analgesic efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block and wound infiltration in parturients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Full description

This randomized, controlled, double-blind study will be conducted on ASA physical status II parturients with full-term singleton pregnancy undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. Patients will receive either ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block or wound infiltration at the end of surgery. After delivery, all patients will receive standard analgesia (intravenous ketorolac and oral paracetamol) and patient-controlled analgesia with intravenous fentanyl. Total fentanyl consumption at 24 h, pain scores at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h, side effects, and patient satisfaction will be compared between the 2 groups.

80 participants in 2 patient groups

Wound Infiltration
Active Comparator group
Description:
Cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia (intrathecal bupivacaine 12.5 mg and intrathecal fentanyl 15 µg). At the end of surgery, 30 mL bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected subcutaneously in the surgical wound (15 mL on the upper and lower sides) by the obstetrician before skin suturing. Sham procedure will be performed after surgery. Standard analgesia (ketorolac and paracetamol) and fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia will be administered postoperatively.
Treatment:
Drug: Ketorolac
Drug: Intrathecal bupivacaine
Drug: Paracetamol
Procedure: Spinal anesthesia
Procedure: Sham procedure
Drug: Intrathecal fentanyl
Procedure: Fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia
Procedure: Wound infiltration
Procedure: Cesarean delivery
Transversus abdominis plane block
Experimental group
Description:
Cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia (intrathecal bupivacaine 12.5 mg and intrathecal fentanyl 15 µg). After completion of surgery, bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block will be performed using 20 mL bupivacaine 0.25% on each side. Standard analgesia (ketorolac and paracetamol) and fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia will be administered postoperatively.
Treatment:
Drug: Ketorolac
Drug: Intrathecal bupivacaine
Drug: Paracetamol
Procedure: Transversus abdominis plane block
Procedure: Spinal anesthesia
Drug: Intrathecal fentanyl
Procedure: Fentanyl patient-controlled analgesia
Procedure: Cesarean delivery
