Overview
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of postoperative analgesia techniques-transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and wound infiltration-on recovery in patients undergoing elective cesarean section, using the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (ObsQoR-10) questionnaire. The secondary objective is to assess pain scores, analgesic consumption, and adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and pruritus within the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Description
The patients will be divided into 3 groups as Group T (transversus abdominis plane block), Group W (wound infiltration) and Group K (control). All of them will be given spinal anesthesia in sitting position.Group C will receive spinal anesthesia. In Group T (Transversus abdominis plane block) cases, in addition to spinal anesthesia at the end of the surgery, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be applied bilaterally between the transversus abdominis muscle and the internal oblique muscle. Group WI (wound infiltration) will be administered 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine to the wound area in addition to spinal anesthesia at the end of the surgery.Numerical pain scores (NRS Resting and Movement), heart rate, mean arterial pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, analgesic consumption, nausea and vomiting score, pruritus, Ramsey sedation scale and other postoperative complications will be recorded at the 2nd hour, 6th hour, 12th hour and 24th hour postoperatively .Obstetric Quality of Recovery -ObsQoR-10 questionnaire will be applied to the patients at the end of 24 hours.
