Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPostoperative analgesia after caesarean section with transversus abdominis plane block or continuous infiltration wound catheter: A randomized clinical trial. TAP vs. infiltration after caesarean section.
Single shot transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and continuous local anesthetic infiltration wound catheter (CLAIWC) decreased the morphine consumption after caesarean section. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of CLAIWC and ultrasound-guided TAP block. ⋯ As part of a multimodal analgesic regimen, there is no significant difference between the TAP block and CLAIWC for postoperative analgesia after a caesarean section.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudySubarachnoid morphine versus TAP blocks for enhanced recovery after caesarean section delivery: A randomized controlled trial.
Subarachnoid morphine is widely used for pain relief in enhanced recovery program after cesarean section in spite of its side effects. However, the role of TAP block is still controversial. The aim of our study was to compare the impact of these analgesic techniques (subarachnoid morphine and TAP block) on enhanced recovery after cesarean section. ⋯ TAP block seems to be suitable with enhanced recovery programs.
