Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double blind, parallel group trial to compare the efficacy of ropivacaine versus bupivacaine during surgical transversus abdominis plane [TAP]block for post-operative analgesia after caesarean section. Surgical TAP block is a established technique used for post operative analgesia. we plan to compare two drugs in 100 patients who require caesarean section. The post operative pain will be assessed by using the visual analogue scale [VAS] and the duration of analgesia in hours after giving the drug by TAP block will be assessed. Rescue analgesia will be administered to all those patients who complain of pain at VAS 3. The secondary outcome will be study of any side effects of the drugs.
