Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane blocks will be performed in pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Total of 60 women between 18 and 45 years of age with an ASA risk status of I-II and undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia will include in this study. Patients will divide into two groups as follows: those who receive postoperative TAPB under ultrasound guidance (Group TAPB, 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine administered on each side, bilaterally, total dose: 40 ml) by consultant anesthetist, and those who do not receive postoperative TAPB (Group C). Also, all patients will provide patient-controlled analgesia with tramadol at first 24 hours(loading dose of 20 mg, with a lock-out time of 10 minutes and basal infusion rate of 20 mg/hour)
