Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • time of request of first analgesia

    VAS (Visual Analogue Scale, 0-100 mm; where 0 = no pain, and 100 = worst imaginable pain) will be assessed, at rest, per hour for 24 hours post operatively. Moreover, VAS will also be assessed at 12 and 24 hours post-operatively while abducting the ipsilateral arm. If the patient experiences a pain of \> 3, IV morphine will be given at a dose of 2.5-5 mg per dose, with a maximum dose of 10 mg, aiming for a pain score of ≤ 3. Time which will pass until the request of first analgesia shall be determined for each group and compared.

    Time Frame: 24 hours post-operatively ]

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively

    Time Frame: 24 hours post-operatively ]

Study Arms (3)

Group I (BN10)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will receive an ultrasound-guided TAP block with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine , 1 mL of 10 mg of nulbuphine plus 4 mL of normal saline to reach 25 mL as total volume on each side of the abdominal wall.

Procedure: Group I (BN10)

Group II (BN20)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
