Brief Summary   In this study, we would like to compare the analgesic efficacy of dexamethasone and ketorolac as an adjutant to levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided transverse abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lower segment caesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia.

Intraoperatively, BP and PR measured at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 30 mins.
Post operatively PR and BP measured at every 20 mins for first 2 hours and at 4,6,12 and 24 hours.
Post operative VAS score in 2,4, 6,12 and 24 hours.
Patient satis Score measured after 24 hours.
Duration of onset of pain and motor power in hours.

Thank you
