Comparative Analysis of the Impact of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Post-Cesarean Pain Management Using Low Concentration Ropivacaine 0,2%
Sponsor: Matild Keresztes
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the addition of a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block improves postoperative outcomes in women undergoing cesarean section. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the TAP block reduce postoperative pain scores compared with the traditional analgesic regimen used in our hospital? Does the TAP block decrease opioid consumption within the first 24 hours? Does the TAP block improve the 24-hour quality of recovery? Researchers will compare patients receiving the traditional analgesic regimen with patients who receive the TAP block in addition to standard care to determine differences in pain management, opioid requirements, and recovery quality. Participants will: Receive standard anesthetic and perioperative care for cesarean delivery. Be randomized to either the TAP block group or the traditional analgesic regimen group. Have postoperative pain scores assessed at predefined intervals. Have opioid consumption recorded within the first 24 hours. Complete a quality-of-recovery assessment at 24 hours postoperatively.
