Abstract
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 two groups.
