Modified Surgeon Assisted Bilateral TAP Block - A New TAP Block Technique

Continuous bilateral TAP block in patient with prior abdominal surgery.

We present as an option for epidural analgesia and intravenous opioid infusion a clinical case of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, with bilateral placement of catheter for postoperative analgesia after exploratory laparotomy performed in a patient with previous abdominal surgery and heart, kidney and liver failure.

Bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with 24 hours ropivacaine infusion via TAP catheters: A randomized trial in healthy volunteers

BACKGROUND The analgesic effect of a TAP block has been investigated in various surgical settings. There are however limited information about block level and block duration. Furthermore, there is a lack of information about continuous TAP block after ultrasound-guided posterior TAP blocks.The aim of this double-blind randomized study was therefore to investigate the effect of an ultrasound-gui...

The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block: Abdominal plane regional anaesthesia

HISTORY OF THE TAP BLOCK Abdominal field blocks and costo-iliac block have been used in anaesthesia for surgery involving the anterior abdominal wall for several decades. A technique involving multiple injections of local anaesthetic in the abdominal wall was used in the 1980s.1 This technique was improved with a blind landmark technique, via the ‘lumbar triangle of Petit’.2 The clinical effica...

تاثیر بلوک ماهیچه عرضی شکم (TAP block) با بوپیواکایین 25/0% بر درد پس از سزارین

مقدمه: مادر نیاز دارد پس از سزارین هر چه سریع‌تر نگهداری نوزاد خود را به عهده گیرد. تسکین درد در مادر باعث افزایش راحتی و بهبود سریع‌تر و کاهش مدت بستری و عوارض مانند ترومبوآمبولی ریوی و نیز هزینه درمان می‌شود. هدف: تعیین تأثیر بلوک عضله شکمی (TAP) با تزریق مارکایین 25/0% بر میزان بی‌دردی پس از عمل سزارین مواد و روش‌ها: این مطالعه کارآزمایی بالینی دوسوکور بر 76 بیمار بود که مورد جراحی سزارین ان...
