Author(s): Jainab Parween* and Manish Jain
Background and aims: Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block has proven to be an effective component of
multimodal analgesic regimen for a variety of abdominal procedures. Morphine has the potential to be an ideal
adjuvant in TAP block. We studied the efficacy of morphine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in TAP block in patients
scheduled for abdominal surgery under General anesthesia.
Methods: Sixty patients belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2, aged between 18
and 58 years, scheduled for abdominal surgery under GA. Were recruited. Patients in Group A (n=30) received 20 mL
0.375% Ropivacaine whereas those in Group B (n=30) received 20 mL Normal Saline (NS) in the ultrasound
(USG)-guided TAP block performed on each side after the completion of the surgery under GA. They were evaluated
