This study aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block with single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia
This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block to single-shot local anesthetic wound infiltration for analgesia after cesarean delivery performed under spinal anesthesia. This will be done by measuring VAS (visual analogue score) for pain after ceserian section at2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours .

bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block was performed using a 12-4-MHz linear array transducer (ClearVue 350; Philips, Bothell, WA) placed transversely between the iliac crest and costal margin in the anterior axillary line and slid medial-lateral to visualize the external oblique, internal oblique, and trans-versus abdominis muscles; the most lateral (posterior) position obtaining a satisfactory ultrasound image was used

RECRUITINGThe degree of pain at rest ;
using an Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for pain intensity reported on 0-10 point scale for analysis. (0 = no pain and 10 = the worst possible pain) .
Time frame: From 2 hours to 24 hours postoperatively
The time to the first postoperative opioid dose
cumulative opioid consumption
Time frame: at 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours.
