Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Epidural analgesia post-laparotomy  Patients will receive Ringer lactate infusion @ 10ml/kg over 20 minutes before epidural catheter insertion. Patient will be placed in right lateral position and epidural catheter placed according to institutional protocol. Epidural anesthesia will be performed by a skilled anesthesiologist who is not included in the study and test dose will be given for confirming correct placement of the catheter. They will undergo laparotomy under general anesthesia with epidural analgesia. Group E patients will be receiving epidural top up with 0.125% Bupivacaine 12ml according to the hemodynamics intraoperatively and every 6 hours postoperatively (the first dose at the post-wound-closure, prior to extubation stage).  
Comparator Agent  Multimodal analgesia post-laparotomy  Patients will receive 0.125% Bupivacaine 15 ml infiltration at the incision site post operatively before the closure of wound, and ultrasound guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block with 0.125% Bupivacaine 15ml on each side after closure of the surgical site, in addition to this, Group M will receive 15mg/kg dose of Inj.Paracetamol infusion every 6 hours postoperatively (the first dose) prior to extubation of endotracheal tube. In this group infiltration analgesia will be given by a skilled surgeon according to the instructions of a skilled anesthesiologist and will not be part of the study.

Brief Summary  

A double-blinded, prospective study with hundred patients will be divided randomly into two groups of fifty each: Group E will be given epidural analgesia, Group M will be given multimodal analgesia for their post-laparotomy period. Both the groups will be monitored for 48 hours postoperatively. The parameters recorded will be blood pressure, pulse rate, saturation, visual analog scale for pain scores every hour. Whenever the visual analog score crosses 4, patients will be given rescue analgesic. The total number of rescue analgesics required in both groups will be recorded for 48 hours postoperatively.
