Brief Summary   We have decided to analyse the efficacy of post-operative analgesia with intrathecal fentanyl when compared to USG guided TAP and QL blocks. Post operative analgesia plays an important role in speedy post surgical recovery , wound healing, early mobilisation and improving overall patient well being and surgical outcome. We are of the opinion that USG guided blocks are much safer and better options for post operative analgesia when compared to intrathecal route and have no side effects. Duration of analgesia is much longer not needing any other intravenous pain control measures. Hence with this hypothesis we have decided to analyse their efficacy in post LSCS patients by this comparative study.
