Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Dexamethasone  Injection Dexamethasone 8mg diluted with 5 ml normal saline as an additive give with 5ml of injection 0.5% bupivacaine (total volume of drug 10 ml on each side) in transverse abdominis plane block in patient undergoing total laproscopic hysterectomy gives prolonged and intense post operative pain relief. Total volume of drug given is 20 ml in each patient. Route of administration is USG guided TAP block. 
Intervention  Ketamine  Injection Ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) diluted with normal saline as an additive with 5 ml of injection 0.5% bupivacaine (total volume 10 on each side)given in transverse abdominis plane block in patient undergoing total laproscopic hysterectomy gives better post operative pain relieve and early ambulation. Total volume of drug used is 20 ml per patient. Route of administration USG guided TAP block.

Brief Summary  

 This prospective, randomized, double-blind, comparative study will assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided transverse abdominis plane (TAP) blocks with ketamine or dexamethasone as adjuvants to 0.5% bupivacaine in 60 patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The patients, aged 30–70 years (ASA grade I and II), will be divided into two groups of 30 each:

  • Group BD: TAP block with 0.5% bupivacaine + ketamine (0.5 mg/kg), total 20 mL.
  • Group BK: TAP block with 0.5% bupivacaine + dexamethasone (8 mg), total 20 mL.

Procedure Overview:

  1. Patients will be prepared with standard preoperative protocols, including IV access, standard monitors, and administration of premedications (ondansetron, pantoprazole, glycopyrrolate, midazolam, fentanyl, propofol, and vecuronium).
  2. After intubation, the TAP block will be performed bilaterally under ultrasound guidance by an experienced anesthesiologist.
  3. Surgery will proceed under general anesthesia with isoflurane, nitrous oxide, oxygen, and intermittent vecuronium. Pain management intraoperatively includes fentanyl boluses and diclofenac.

Postoperative Monitoring:

  • Patients will be monitored for pain using VAS scores and tramadol consumption.
  • Ondansetron will be given for vomiting, and tramadol for pain (VAS > 4).
  • At 24 hours, patients will rate pain relief satisfaction on a 4-point scale.

The study aims to compare pain relief, tramadol consumption, and patient satisfaction between the two groups.
