Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block in cesarean delivery: a randomized trial of ketamine versus neostigmine as bupivacaine adjuvants

2026Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Both adjuvants effectively controlled postoperative pain, with stable intraoperative hemodynamics and high patient satisfaction levels. Ketamine demonstrated superior analgesic efficacy compared with neostigmine in cesarean delivery patients undergoing TAP blocks. An individualized treatment approach is needed to tailor the selection of adjuvants to optimize outcomes.
