Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of the Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block on stress response, pain levels, and opioid use during recovery post-total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH).
- Conducted as a randomized, double-blind trial, it involved 50 participants who received either a TAP block with bupivacaine or a placebo saline solution.
- Results showed no significant differences in stress hormone levels, pain scores, or opioid consumption between the two groups, indicating the TAP block may not effectively reduce the peri-operative stress response as hypothesized.
Introduction The association of pain and discomfort of moderate to high severity and a high incidence with the intravenous (IV) administration of propofol is well known. Various physical and pharmacological methods are used to minimize propofol-induced pain, but the best intervention is still unknown. Therefore, our aim was to determine the analgesic efficacy of IV paracetamol when used in combination with lidocaine pretreatment in reducing propofol injection pain.
