dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVES: When added to local anaesthetics, dexamethasone can prolong the duration of peripheral blocks. Dexamethasone has a long and efficient glucocorticoid structure and presents anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dexamethasone on the block duration added to levobupivacaine used for transversus abdominis block (TAP) applied to patients who underwent caesarean section. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-two patients with spinal anaesthesia in an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II risk group were included in the study and divided into two groups. Bilateral 30 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine and 2 ml 0.9% NaCl for the levobupivacaine group and bilateral 30 ml 0.25% levobupivacaine and 2 ml dexamethasone (8 mg) for the dexamethasone group were administered in a TAP block performed with ultrasonography. The time need for the first analgesic in the postoperative period was recorded. The numeric evaluation scale, and the total additional analgesic amounts were recorded. RESULTS: The time before the administration of the first additional analgesic dose was prolonged significantly in the dexamethasone group compared to the levobupivacaine group (p = 0.004). The pain scores were lower in the dexamethasone group for superficial pain. A significant difference for the dexamethasone group was observed in the evaluation of deep pain. The total consumption of tramadol was significantly lower in the dexamethasone group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The utilization of dexamethasone, which has a prolonging effect on the transversus abdominis plane block, may be an alternative to epidural opioid analgesia in caesarean section. We observed that dexametha-sone added to levobupivacaine in a TAP block applied for analgesia following a caesarean section procedure prolonged the time required for analgesia.en_US
