Arms & Interventions
Intrathecal morphine
Intervention: Intrathecal morphine
Erector Spinae Plane Block
Intervention: Erector Spinae Plane Block
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
24 hour area under the curve pain scores
Time Frame: First 24 hour
It will be measured at 3 6 12 18 and 24 hours after the end of the cesarean delivery. This pain will be assessed by asking the patient to go from lying to sitting (or use incentive spirometry) and rated using a linear 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). The 24 hour pain VAS area under the curve (AUC) will be calculated using the trapezoid rule.
Secondary Outcomes
- Measurement of quality of recovery after cesarean delivery(First 24 hours)
- Pruritus(First 24 hours)
- Incidente of persistent surgical pain(Three months)
- Analgesic usage(First 24 hours)
- Nausea and vomiting(First 24 hours)
