Trial summary

Importance of effective postoperative pain management is well known. The undesired effects of pain can be prevented with multimodal analgesia for the patient. Overall, for cesarean delivery, interaction between the mother and her newborn baby can be provided earlier. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Rectus Sheath Block for Postoperative Pain After Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Importance of effective postoperative pain management is well known. The undesired effects of pain can be prevented with multimodal analgesia for the patient. Overall, for cesarean delivery, interaction between the mother and her newborn baby can be provided earlier. Many regional anesthesia techniques can be prefferred after cesarean delivery. Aim of the study is to compare the postoperative analgesia effects of transversus abdominis plane block and rectus sheath block after elective cesarean delivery.
