Article Synopsis
  • Upper abdominal surgeries often lead to intense postoperative pain, and this study compares the effectiveness of an external oblique intercostal (EOI) block versus a traditional subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for pain management.
  • Fifty patients scheduled for upper abdominal surgery received either EOI or TAP block and their postoperative pain management was monitored using a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump.
  • Results showed that the EOI block significantly increased the time to activate PCA, reduced opioid consumption, and improved patient satisfaction compared to the TAP block, indicating that EOI block is a more effective option for pain relief after upper abdominal surgery.
