Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block as an analgesic technique compared to epidural analgesia and the time required for first rescue analgesia.Timepoint: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block as an analgesic technique compared to epidural analgesia and the time required for first rescue analgesia assesments will be done at 1 2 4 and 6th hourly postoperatively—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1 To compare the postoperative analgesic requirements following transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block and epidural analgesia. 2 To compare the hemodynamic changes postoperatively between ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominis plane(TAP) block and epidural analgesia. Timepoint: Measured from completion of block until first request for rescue analgesia; total rescue analgesic consumption recorded up to 24 hours postoperatively 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively—
