【 摘 要 】

Background & Objective: Addition of ketamine affects pain modulation through multiple mechanisms and may enhance the analgesic effect of local anesthetics in rectus sheath block (RSB). However, limited studies have evaluated the analgesic efficacy and safety of ketamine added to RSB for midline laparotomy. We aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of ketamine as an adjuvant to 0.25% bupivacaine in ultrasound-guided RSB following major abdominal or gynecological surgery with midline incision.
