A Study of the Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Tap Block Using 0.375% Ropivacaine for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
As important component of the pain experienced by patients after abdominal surgery derives from the abdominal wall incision so the TAP block, as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen, may result in improved analgesia and reduce the requirements of opioids in the first 24 hours after TAH compared with a placebo block. The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis, observe the side effects and evaluate the satisfaction level in patients. This study was conducted in 60 patients at YASHODA HOSPITAL in Secunderabad over a period of 1st July 2014 – 30th June 2015. USG guided TAP block using 20ml of 0.375% ropivacaine is a promising technique in alleviating postoperative pain in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy through a lower abdominal skin incision when used as part of multi-modal analgesia regimen.
