Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the quality of recovery at 24 hours post cesarean delivery, measured by the total ObsQoR-11Hindi score, between patients randomized to receive ITM versus those randomized to receive TAP block, within a non-inferiority framework. Timepoint: To compare the quality of recovery at 24 hours post cesarean delivery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pain intensity with movement (NRS 0-10) (e.g., during transfer/coughing) at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours post-delivery. Time to first request for rescue opioid analgesia (in minutes). Total cumulative iv tramadol consumption during first 24 hours post delivery. Incidence and severity of PONV (e.g., using PONV Impact Scale) after delivery, followed by 3, 6, 12, 24 hours post delivery. Incidence and severity of Pruritus (using 4 point scale) recorded prospectively over 24 hours. Incidence of respiratory depression. Time (hours) from end of surgery to first independent ambulation (e.g., walking to bathroom) Time (hours) from end of surgery to first passage of flatus. Timepoint: 3,6,12 and 24hrs
