Comparison Between Erector Spinae Plane Block vs Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Cesarean Section
Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block For Postoperative Analgesia In Cesarean Section: Comparative Randomized Prospective Study
This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effectiveness of the erector spinae plane (ESP) block versus the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Sixty patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups to receive either ESP or TAP block after surgery.
The primary outcome of the study is the assessment of postoperative pain using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) over the first 24 hours. Secondary outcomes include total morphine consumption, time to first request for rescue analgesia, patient satisfaction, incidence of complications, and hemodynamic stability.
All patients will receive standardized spinal anesthesia followed by the assigned block using a combination of bupivacaine and lidocaine under ultrasound guidance. Postoperatively, a multimodal analgesic regimen will be applied, including regular paracetamol and rescue analgesia with ketorolac or morphine based on pain scores.
The rationale of the study is based on the limitation of the TAP block in providing only somatic analgesia, whereas the ESP block may offer both somatic and visceral pain control due to its wider spread. Therefore, the study aims to determine whether ESP block provides superior postoperative analgesia and reduces opioid requirements compared to TAP block after cesarean delivery.

활성 비교기: ESPB group
patients included in this group will receive the erector spinae plane block.
|
For the ESP block, patients will be placed in the right lateral decubitus position, and the T9 transverse process will be identified using a high-frequency linear ultrasound probe positioned 2-3 cm lateral to the midline in a parasagittal orientation.
After skin sterilization, a 21-gauge echogenic block needle will be advanced in-plane cranio-caudally until contact with the transverse process is achieved.
Hydrodissection with sterile saline will be performed to confirm correct fascial plane placement beneath the erector spinae muscle.
A total of 20 mL local anesthetic mixture will be administered on each side, consisting of 10 mL bupivacaine 0.25%- and 10-mL lidocaine 0.5%, ensuring that the maximum safe dose is not exceeded.
Correct spread will be confirmed under ultrasound by observing separation of the fascial layers.

활성 비교기: TAP group
patients included in this group will receive the transversus abdominis plane block.
|
For the TAP block, patients will be placed supine, and the posterior approach will be used with the probe placed midway between the subcostal margin and the iliac crest in the anterior axillary line.
The fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles will be visualized until it tapers toward the quadratus lumborum.
A 21-gauge echogenic needle will be introduced in-plane from anterior to posterior, and hydrodissection with sterile saline will be performed to confirm the correct plane.
A total of 20 mL local anesthetic mixture will be administered per side, composed of 10 mL bupivacaine 0.25%- and 10-mL lidocaine 0.5%, with care taken to remain within safe dosage limits.
