CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND GUIDED TRANSVERSUS ABDOMINIS PLANE (TAP) BLOCK USING BUPIVACAINE VERSUS BUPIVACAINE AND DEXMEDETOMIDINE FOR POST OPERATIVE ANALGESIA IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING ABDOMINAL SURGERIES

Abstract

Background & Aims- Post-operative pain is the primary adverse outcome that distresses the 
patient, prolongs the hospital stay and increases the incidence of admission after surgery. 
This study is to evaluate and compare the duration and quality of analgesia with bupivacaine 
and bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine after transverse abdominis plane block in abdominal 
surgeries using pain scores (at rest) and vitals monitoring. Also, here we are comparing the 
opiod consumption in both the cases along with the post operative sedation scores among the
