Transversalis Fascia Plane Block in Caesarean Section Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pain, Postoperative
• Interventions: Other: transversalis fascia plane block

• Registration Number: NCT03741452
• Lead Sponsor: Maltepe University

Brief Summary

Transversalis fascia plane block is a regional anesthesia technique described ten years ago. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that transversalis fascia plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the cesarean section, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversalis fascia plane block in cesarean section.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Transversalis fascia plane block	transversalis fascia plane block	The transversalis fascia plane block will be administrated to this group at end of the surgery under general anesthesia. An intravenous patient-controlled analgesia device within tramadol will be given to the patients postoperatively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
24 hours tramadol consumption	24 hour	tramadol consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensity	24 hours	Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
Postoperative nausea and vomiting	24 hours	number of postoperative nasusea and vomiting after surgery will be questioned
