Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of TAP block and intra-thecal morphine (ITM) for peri-operative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy compared to conventional analgesia by: 1. Peri operative fentanyl consumption 2. VAS scores at rest and on movement. Timepoint: 0,2,4,6,12 and 24 hours time points

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To assess the effect of intra-thecal morphine and TAP block on recovery characteristics: a. Time to Readiness for discharge from PACU b. Time to ambulate c. Time to oral intake 2. To determine the incidence of adverse effects in all analgesic modalities: a. Respiratory depression b. Pruritus c. Nausea and vomiting (PONV) d. Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) Timepoint: TIME SCALES AS MINIMUM AS POSSIBLE
