Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This noninferiority study aims to determine whether transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with intrathecal fentanyl could provide a noninferior analgesia compared with intrathecal morphine after cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Healthy mothers scheduled to undergo elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia will be randomly allocated to receive either TAP block plus intrathecal fentanyl (Group TF) or intrathecal morphine (Group M).

Primary outcome is pain score with movement at postoperative 24 hours.

Transversus abdominis plane block and intrathecal fentanyl

Patients will receive spinal anesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine 9 mg + fentanyl 10 mcg. Following the completion of surgery, ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane block will be done with 0.375% ropivacaine 15 ml per each side.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

fentanyl

Intervention Type DRUG

Fentanyl 10 mcg will be injected intrathecally during spinal anesthesia.

Transversus abdominis plane block
