The Effect of TAP Block on Maternal-Infant Bonding
Sponsor: Adiyaman University Research Hospital
Summary
Cesarean delivery is a common surgical procedure that is typically performed under spinal anesthesia. Postoperative pain management has a significant impact on both the mother's physical recovery and the quality of maternal-infant bonding. The quality of maternal-infant bonding is influenced by various factors, including postoperative pain, early mobilization, initiation of breastfeeding, stress, psychological status, and hormonal balance. Studies have reported that adequate postoperative pain management, early breastfeeding, and early mobilization have positive effects on maternal-infant bonding. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthesia technique known for its efficacy in controlling postoperative pain. Bilateral TAP block performed after cesarean section has been associated with lower pain scores, reduced analgesic consumption, and shorter hospital stays. However, its impact on maternal-infant bonding has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effect of bilateral TAP block on maternal-infant bonding in women undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block
Under ultrasound guidance, 20 cc of 0.25% bupivacaine was planned to be administered between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis fascial planes on both lateral aspects of the anterior abdominal wall.
