Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane blocks for analgesia post cesarean section

Efficacy of Ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (tap) Block for Post- Cesarean Section Delivery Analgesia

Background: Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been used for intra-operative and postoperative analgesia. Here we evaluate the efficacy of TAP block for postoperative cesarean delivery analgesia. Method: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed at King Khalid University Hospital on 40 patients undergoing cesarean delivery under spinal anesthe...
