Conditions

Health Condition 1: O- Medical and Surgical

Interventions

Intervention1: Anaesthetist delivered transversus abdominis plane block: The intervention is such that the anaesthetist delivers transversus abdominis plane block under ultrasound guidance using 30ml

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: ASA grade 1,2 & 3 Laparoscopic colorectal surgeries Consented for regional anaesthesia technique for post operative analgesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome is to compare surgeon placed Laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane blocks and anaesthetist placed ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane blocks for post-operative pain control in laparoscopic colorectal surgery and to compare the primary duration of analgesia as determined by the vas score. Timepoint: The time points are to measure vas score every hour for first 6hours, then at 12th hour and 24th hour post operatively and to measure vitals every 30 minutes till end of the surgery.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary outcome is to determine the incidence of post operative nausea & vomiting & to find out total dose of narcotics used(time frame –upto 24 hours) & also to find out the time of rescue analgesia Timepoint: Time points are every hour till first 6 hours, then at 12th hour & 24th hour post operatively.	—
