Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a prospective interventional randomised comparative study to compare erector spinae plane block with transversus abdominis plane block with dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant for post operative analgesia after caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia with the hypothesis that the use of erector spinae plane block is comparable to transversus abdominis plane block with dexmedetomidine as adjuvant for post operative analgesia for caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.Primary objective is to compare the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block and transversus abdominis plane block with dexmedetomidine as adjuvant for post op analgesia after caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia by assessing the time for first rescue analgesia.Secondary objectives are visual analogue scale (resting and dynamic) will be assessed at rest and on movement at intervals of 6 hourly till 24 hours and the 12 hourly till 48 hours. (0,6,12,24,36,48 hours),total tramadol consumption for 48 hours ,adverse effects if any like hypotension, bradycardia, sedation,severity of pain interference with performance of activities of daily living (ADL) breastfeeding, and general care (cleaning, changing, comforting) of the infant. ADLs assessed will include include changing position in bed, standing and walking, and eatingpatient’s overall satisfaction score at discharge using 0-5 score (0 = worst ,1= very bad, 2 = bad, 3 = good, 4 = very good, 5 = best).The sample size studied would be 80, ie, 40 per group.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To compare the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block and transversus abdominis plane block with dexmedetomidine as adjuvant for post op analgesia after caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia by assessing the time for first rescue analgesia.
Time Frame: Patients will be followed up at baseline,6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours,36 hours, and 48 hours.
Secondary Outcomes
- 1.Visual analogue scale (resting & dynamic) will be assessed at rest & on movement at(intervals of 6 hourly till 24 hours & the 12 hourly till 48 hours. (0,6,12,24,36,48 hours).)
- 2.Total tramadol consumption for 48 hours(Calculated at the end of 48 hours.)
- 3.Adverse effects if any like hypotension, bradycardia, sedation.(Patients will be followed up at baseline,6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours,36 hours, & 48 hours.)
- 4.Severity of pain interference with performance of activities of daily living (ADL) breastfeeding, & general care (cleaning, changing, comforting) of the infant. ADLs assessed will include include changing position in bed, standing & walking, & eating(Patients will be followed up at baseline,6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours,36 hours, & 48 hours.)
- 5.Patient’s overall satisfaction score at discharge using 0-5 score (0 = worst ,1= very bad, 2 = bad, 3 = good, 4 = very good, 5 = best).(Assessed at time of discharge.)
