Brief summary

Transversalis fascia plane block is a regional anesthesia technique described ten years ago. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that transversalis fascia plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the cesarean section, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral transversalis fascia plane block in cesarean section.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
24 hours tramadol consumption24 hourtramadol consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensity24 hoursChanges in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. no pain) to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. pain as bad as you can imagine or worst pain imaginable).
Postoperative nausea and vomiting24 hoursnumber of postoperative nasusea and vomiting after surgery will be questioned
