【 摘 要 】

Background & objective: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block using local anesthetics is associated with relatively shorter duration of action, and thus additional analgesic drugs are required in the postoperative period. We compared the efficacy and duration of postoperative analgesia achieved with using dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone as adjuvants to bupivacaine in TAP block for lower abdominal surgeries.
