About this study

Official title: The Value of Preemptive Dexmedetomidine Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Section Under General Anesthesia.

In this study, the investigators will compare the analgesic effect of bupivacaine and bupivacaine-dexmetomedine after elective cesarean delivery by performing an bilateral TAP block, on the patients for whom the operation will be performed under general anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will study 60 ASA [American Society of Anesthesiologist] physical status I and ІІ patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery at tanta University Hospital, in a prospective, randomized, comparative, clinical trial.

Patients will be randomly allocated to two equal groups (n = 30) using closed envelopes labeled 1,and 2 reflecting group 1and 2 respectively.

The drugs are prepared by the anesthesiologist who is not involved in the study or data collection.

Group I: (n=30) will receive pre-delivery bilateral TAP block with 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % mixed with 10 ml saline and 10 μg dexmetonedine in 20 ml syringe labeled G 2.

Group II: (n=30) will receive post-delivery bilateral TAP block with 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.5 % mixed with 10 ml saline in 20 ml syringe labeled G2.

Being tested
Bupivacine group, Dexmedetomidine

hemodynamic changes (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
