Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric Nerve Blockade for Post Caesarean Analgesia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Over the last decade, the incidence of elective caesarean sections has increased drastically which demand more postoperative analgesia by a safe and cost-effective method. Aim: To study the quality and duration of post-caesarean analgesia by ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks and to study any complications associated with it. Material and Methods: A prospective comparative clinical study involving 100 ASA PS I & II patients, undergoing elective caesarean section through Pfannenstiel incision under subarachnoid block. Group I received bilateral ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine while Group 2 received ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve injections with 10 ml of isotonic saline. Result: Our study showed that ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block produce satisfactory quality and duration of post-caesarean analgesia.
