Brief Summary

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

The postoperative pain management after cesarean section under spinal anestheisa is done using various modalities. The commonly used regimens are systemic NSAIDs/Opioids, USG guided TAP block or Intrathecal additive Fentanyl or combined intrathecal fentanyl and USG guided TAP block.

Investigators aim to compare the postoperative analgesia in terms of time to the first rescue analgesic in parturients receiving intrathecal additive fentanyl only, or intrathecal fentanyl with USG guided TAP block or USG guided TAP block alone for elective CS done under hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia.

Detailed Description

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

Investigators will enroll 93 parturients planned for elective CS under hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anesthesia and allocate them into three groups comprising intrathecal additive fentanyl only, or intrathecal fentanyl with USG guided TAP block or USG guided TAP block alone.

The primary outcome will be time to the first rescue analgesics.
