Comparison Study Between TAP Block and Morphine Bolus in Decreasing Systemic Analgesia in Postoperative Cesarean Section
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Ultrasound guided TAP block is a new technique providing analgesia for lower abdominal surgeries, safe & effective as multimodal analgesia.
Aim of the study: To compare between the TAP block & morphine in approving effectiveness in decrease the need for systemic analgesia in post-operative cesarean section under general anesthesia.
Patient and method: This study is randomized prospective study was conducted at Baghdad teaching hospital and nursing house hospital ,medical city , Baghdad , Iraq. From the date 1st of February 2016 until 1st of September 2016. Eighty patients with elective cesarean section was selected, all of them ASAII, their ages from 20-45 years and their weight from 60-100Kg. The patients were divided randomly in to 2 groups: 1st group (TAP group).40 patients 2nd group (morphine group). 40 patients Both groups conducted with the same anesthetic protocol.
Result: Ultrasound guided TAP block will decrease the need for systemic analgesic requirement compare with the opioid (morphine)bolus in postoperative cesarean section under general anesthesia.
Conclusion: Ultrasound guided TAP block is better in decrease the need for systemic analgesic requirement compare with the opioid (morphine).
