Abstract

Background: Women''s post-cesarean delivery pain satisfaction is still a problem. Accurate evaluation of post-cesarean delivery pain intensity aids in the selection of the most suitable anaesthetic method, drug, and dosage, and the enhancement of postsurgical pain therapy. Objective: To compare between ultrasound guided TAP block and patient controlled analgesia after caesarian section as regard safety and pain control as well as patient satisfaction. Patients : A cross-sectional study was performed on 100 women at El-Sayed Galal University Hospital and El Hussein University Hospital, who were scheduled to have an elective C-section. They have been split into two groups, with "group 1" (n = 50) receiving TAP block and "group 2" (n = 50) receiving PCA. Results: The scores of pain, heart rate, rate of respiration, intestinal movement, nausea, and vomiting were all evaluated at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. In all time intervals, "group 2" had significantly less pain than "group 1" (p
