Overview

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Arms & Interventions

Wound Infiltration

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.
