Brief summary

Inadequate pain control after cesarean section surgery causes postpartum depression, persistent pain and delayed mother-infant bonding. The investigator's aim is to asses whether ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) or transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block would improve postoperative quality of recovery and decrease postoperative opioid consumption after cesarean section surgery.

Interventions

40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia bilaterally

PROCEDURETransversus Abdominis Plane Block

40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance in the fascial plane between internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle bilaterally

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative quality of recoveryPostoperative 24th hourPostoperative quality of recovery will be assessed by Obstetric Quality of Recovery 11 Turkish (ObsQoR-11T) score

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative opioid consumptionPostoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hourMorphine consumption will be assessed by checking patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device records and fentanyl consumption will be assessed by checking patient daily drug order records
Numeric Rating ScalePostoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hourA blinded nurse will assess postoperative pain during resting and movement at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hour by using 11-point Numerical Rating Scale which ranges from '0' (means no pain) to '10' (means worst pain imaginable)
Adverse ReactionsPostoperative 24th hourNausea, vomiting, constipation, urinary retention and skin rash/pruritus will be assessed
