Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block as Part of Multimodal Analgesia after Cesarean Section Delivery

Cesarean section (CS) is the Universal surgical procedure which accounts 15 % of birth world wide and 21.1 % in the developed countries [1]. Similarly, it is the common practice in our hospital, Ethiopia. The pain after surgery is experienced by means of patients below umbilicus surgery which derives from the abdominal wall incision [2]. Transversus abdominis plan (TAP) block is the thriving re...

Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis block as part of multimodal analgesia In comparison with systemic morphine during laparoscopic operations

Background Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthetic technique that blocks the abdominal wall neural afferents by introducing local anesthetic into the neurofascial plane between the internal oblique and transverses abdominis muscles. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of TAP block as a component of a multimodal regimen, in providing postoperative...

Efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair

BACKGROUND AND AIM Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP block) is a novel procedure to provide postoperative analgesia following inguinal hernia surgery. The utilization of ultrasound has greatly augmented the success rate of this block and additionally avoiding complications. The aim of our study was to gauge the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided TAP block in patients undergoing unilat...
