Brief Summary

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

Since TAP block needs to affect several nerves in single tissue plane with a single prick, hyaluronidase is expected to aid greatly in the spread of the LA and help the block. However, there have not been adequate studies to establish the efficacy of adding hyaluronidase in lateral TAP after cesarean section. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronidase in different concentrations added to bupivacaine in US-guided bilateral lateral TAP block.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group H1

patients will received TAB block with 19 ml bupivacaine 0.25 % plus 1 ml 0.9% normal saline containing 750 IU hyaluronidase as an adjuvant in each side after closing skin.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyaluronidase

Intervention Type DRUG

hyaluronidase will be applied as adjuvant to bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block to enhance the postoperative analgesic effect after CS

Group H2

patients will received TAB block with 19 ml bupivacaine 0.25 % plus 1 ml 0.9% normal saline containing 1500 IU hyaluronidase as an adjuvant in each side after closing skin.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyaluronidase

Intervention Type DRUG

hyaluronidase will be applied as adjuvant to bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block to enhance the postoperative analgesic effect after CS

Group C

patients will received TAB block with 19 ml bupivacaine 0.25 % plus 1 ml 0.9% normal saline without any adjuvant in each side after closing skin.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Bupivacaine Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

20ml bupivacaine will be injected without additives in the transversus abdominis plane block on each side for postoperative analgesic after CS
