Brief Summary
The Transversus Abdominis Block (TAP) block is known to be an effective means of reducing patient pain after abdominal surgery. In the meantime, the general TAP block has been studied in patients who were in the recovery room and the ward after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pain reduction and opioid saving effects in patients with TAP block in ICU settings.
