METHODS Twenty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between 20 and 60 years of age with operative time <1 hour, received subcostal TAP block using 0.25% levobupivacaine 0.5 ...

Efficacy of Adding Magnesium Sulfate to Ropivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Analgesia After Open Appendectomy

Introduction: Proper management of postoperative pain relieves the patient’s discomfort, reduces the length of hospitalization, reduces hospital costs, and increases patient satisfaction. This study was aimed to determine the efficacy of adding magnesium sulfate to ropivacaine 0.25% in transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block under ultrasound guidance on analgesia after open appendectomy. Method...

unilateral ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block after nephrectomy; postoperative pain and use of opioids

conclusions tap-block in conjunction with laparoscopic nephrectomy did not reduce pain or opioid consumption. on the contrary, it seemed to prolong surgical time. results mean surgical time was 162 minutes in group a and 92 minutes in group b (p < 0.0001). the means of visual analogue scale (vas) were 3.05 and 1.55 in a and b groups, respectively (p = 0.001). the means of morphine consumption w...
