Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The presence and severity of pain at rest and on coughing will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale

    The presence and severity of pain at rest and on coughing will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale will be assessed postoperatively at baseline, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours.

    first 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • the level of sedation by using sedation score

    24 hours postoperatively

  • first request for analgesia in minutes will be observed

    firsr 24 hours

Study Arms (2)

TAP with bupivicaine

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

30 patients receive ultrasound guided transversus abdominis-plane block (TAP) with local anesthetic 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % diluted in 20 ml saline (total volume 40 ml) in two divided doses i.e. 20 ml is administered on each side of the abdominal wall.

Drug: transversus abdominis-plane block with local anesthetic 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% + 10 mg morphine

TAP with bupivicaine with morphine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
