Brief Summary

Pain triggers a complex biochemical and physiological stress response leading to impairment of pulmonary, immunological and metabolic functions. The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block, is a regional anaesthesia technique used for various surgeries through the lower to mid-abdominal wall.The addition of fentanyl to the local anaesthetic in ultrasound-guided TAP block prolongs the analgesia, lowers postoperative pain, and decreases the opioid consumption. Adding midazolam as a bupivacaine adjuvant for TAP block reduces the 24-h morphine consumption extends the postoperative analgesia duration. The aim of the work is to study the effect of the addition fentanyl and midazolam on the onset, duration of the analgesic effect of Tap block intraoperative fentanyl consumption, Time for first rescue Analgesia. in patients undergoing simple unilateral abdominal surgeries.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Onset of the Analgesic effect of TAP block with different additives

    The patient will be asked to register a prick respectively on the upper extremity. Sensory change will then be assessed in the mid-clavicular line, starting above dermatome T4 moving caudally to dermatome L4.

    30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Dose of intra-Operative fentanyl consumption

    2 hours

  • Block related complications

    24 hours

  • Time of first analgesic request

    24 hours

  • Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    24 hours postoperative

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

patients will receive us guided unilateral Transversus abdominis plane block (25 ml bupivacaine 0.25%).

Procedure: Ultrasound Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block

Interventions

The patient will lie in the supine position. The transducer will be placed in the axial plane on the mid-axillary. transversus abdominis muscle will be visualized. A skin wheel using 3 ml of lidocaine 1 % is made 2 to 3 cm medial to the medial aspect of the transducer and the 22 gauge is inserted in-plane pointing laterally. Then Injection of local anaesthetic mixure in the right plane.
