- W2113679916 abstract "The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a field block that provides postoperative analgesia for abdominal surgery. Its analgesic utility after Caesarean delivery (CD) remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether TAP block can reduce i.v. morphine consumption in the first 24 h after CD. The authors retrieved randomized controlled trials comparing TAP block with placebo in CD. Postoperative i.v. morphine consumption during the first 24 h was selected as a primary outcome. Pain scores and both maternal and neonatal opioid-related side-effects were secondary outcomes. Where possible, meta-analytic techniques and random effects modelling were used to combine data. Trials were stratified based on whether or not spinal morphine was used as part of the analgesic regimen. Five trials including 312 patients were identified. TAP block reduced the mean 24 h i.v. morphine consumption by 24 mg [95% confidence interval (CI) −39.65 to −7.78] when spinal morphine was not used. TAP block also reduced visual analogue scale pain scores (10 cm line where 0 cm, no pain, and 10 cm, worst pain) by 0.8 cm (95% CI −1.53 to −0.05, P=0.01), and decreased the incidence of opioid-related side-effects. The differences in primary and secondary outcomes were not significant when spinal morphine was used. TAP block provides superior analgesia compared with placebo and can reduce the first 24 h morphine consumption in the setting of a multimodal analgesic regimen that excludes spinal morphine. TAP block can provide effective analgesia when spinal morphine is contraindicated or not used.

The purpose of this systematic review was to determine whether or not TAP block is effective in providing pain relief after CD. The primary outcome was morphine consumption in the first 24 h, an important issue for the breastfeeding woman. The authors followed the PRISMA15Moher D Liberati A Tetzlaff J Altman DG PRISMA GroupPreferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses: the PRISMA statement.Int J Surg. 2010; 8: 336-341Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (7263) Google Scholar recommendations in preparing this review. We searched the literature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared TAP block with placebo in patients undergoing elective CD under spinal anaesthesia. We included trials that used both ultrasound and landmark guidance for the single-shot TAP block technique. RCTs were retrieved from the US National Library of Medicine database, MEDLINE; the Excerpta Medica database, EMBASE; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, LILACS databases. The search terms TAP, TAP block, transversus abdominis, transverse abdominis, transversus abdominis plane block, transversus abdominis block, transverse abdominis plane block, transverse abdominis block, Caesarean, and C section were used in combination with the medical subject headings nerve block/abdomen/abdominal cavity/abdominal wall/abdominal muscles, and Caesarean Section (January 2007–February 2012). In addition, we searched the bibliographies of relevant reviews and identified RCTs that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. We also searched for and reviewed published abstracts of anaesthesiology meetings that were held during the period 2007–2012 by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Society of Regional Anesthesia, the Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology, the European Society of Anaesthesiology, and the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia. Finally, we sought unpublished data at ‘clinicaltrials.gov’ as a measure of publication bias. No language restriction was used. The final list of qualifying studies was derived by consensus among the three authors. Excluded trials are listed in the Appendix. Quality of the reviewed trials was assessed independently by two of the authors (F.W.A. and C.B.M.) using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.16Higgins JPT The Cochrane collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias in randomised trials.Br Med J (Clin Res Ed.). 2011; 343: d5928Crossref PubMed Scopus (18849) Google Scholar A final score was assigned for each trial by consensus. I.V. morphine consumption during the first 24 h after CD was defined as a primary outcome. Rest and dynamic pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores (10 cm unmarked line in which 0 cm, no pain, and 10 cm, worst pain imaginable) at 24 h and maternal opioid-related side-effects (sedation, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting), patient satisfaction, and block-related complications were designated as secondary outcomes. A standardized data collection form was used for outcome data extraction. Data were recorded independently by two of the authors (F.W.A., C.B.M.) to avoid transcription errors; discrepancies were resolved by re-inspection of the original data. The data were then entered into the statistical program (by C.B.M.) and rechecked (by F.W.A.). When possible, meta-analytic techniques (Revman 5.1, Cochrane Library, Oxford, UK) were used to combine the data. Random effect modelling was used in analysing continuous and dichotomous outcomes. The standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for continuous outcomes; while odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were calculated for dichotomous outcomes. Differences were considered statistically significant when the 95% CI did not include 0. The I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity.17Higgins JPT Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta-analysis.Stat Med. 2002; 21: 1539-1558Crossref PubMed Scopus (21740) Google Scholar As the analgesic efficacy of spinal morphine in postoperative pain control is well recognized,18Dahl JB Jeppesen IS Jrgensen H Wetterslev J Miniche S Intraoperative and postoperative analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of intrathecal opioids in patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia: a qualitative and quantitative systematic review of randomized controlled trials.Anesthesiology. 1999; 91: 1919-1927Crossref PubMed Scopus (276) Google Scholar, 19Gwirtz KH Young JV Byers RS et al.The safety and efficacy of intrathecal opioid analgesia for acute postoperative pain: seven years’ experience with 5969 surgical patients at Indiana University Hospital.Anesth Analg. 1999; 88: 599-604PubMed Google Scholar, 20Gadsden J Hart S Santos A Post-cesarean delivery analgesia.Anesth Analg. 2005; 101: S62-S69Crossref PubMed Scopus (147) Google Scholar we hypothesized—a priori—that it constitutes a co-intervention that would generate significant heterogeneity among the pooled trial results.

When spinal morphine is excluded from the multimodal analgesic regimen (SM−), we found that TAP block, compared with placebo, reduced the mean 24 h i.v. morphine consumption by 24 mg (95% CI −39.65 to −7.78). This statistically significant reduction (P=0.004) favours TAP block. When both groups received spinal morphine (SM+), TAP block did not significantly reduce morphine consumption (mean difference 2 mg, 95% CI −3.47 to 7.46, P=0.47). The pooled morphine consumption of the SM+ and SM− subgroups was lower by 15 mg (95% CI −33.10 to 2.56) in patients receiving TAP block, although this lacked statistical significance (P=0.09). Heterogeneity among the studies in the SM− subgroup and in the pooled studies was significant (I2=0.94 and 0.97, respectively, P<0.00001). The 24 h rest VAS scores for individual and pooled studies are shown in Figure 3. Compared with placebo in the (SM−) setting, TAP block reduced 24 h rest VAS scores by 0.8 cm (95% CI −1.53 to −0.05, P=0.01). The difference was not significant in the SM+ group (0.3 cm, 95% CI −0.42 to 0.97, P=0.08). The pooled difference favoured TAP block but was not statistically significant (P=0.39). Heterogeneity was significant in both SM− and SM+ subgroups (I2=0.72; P=0.01 and I2=0.67; P=0.08, respectively). Figure 4 shows the 24 h dynamic VAS scores for individual and pooled studies. Difference between the groups were not statistically significant for either the SM− or the SM+ studies. The reviewed trials were inconsistent in reporting opioid-related side-effects.

This review suggests that TAP block constitutes an effective analgesic option capable of reducing 24 h opioid consumption, 24 h rest pain scores, and PONV in parturients undergoing CD who receive a multimodal analgesic regimen that excludes ITM. While the improvement in pain scores was modest and not clinically relevant, the difference in i.v. morphine consumption was robust and clinically significant. These differences are not significant in the presence of ITM. It should be noted that heterogeneity in baseline morphine consumption among the studies might have significantly contributed to the difference between the (SM+) and (SM−) groups. There were insufficient data to conclude that TAP affects the incidence of other opioid-related side-effects such as sedation or pruritus. Reduction in opioid analgesics is generally desirable in CD and more so when spinal morphine is not used. Although opioid analgesics can be taken safely by lactating women, some opioids can result in significant exposures and toxicity in infants,21Ito S Lee A Drug excretion into breast milk—overview.Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2003; 55: 617-627Crossref PubMed Scopus (124) Google Scholar including the risk of neurobehavioural depression in the breastfed newborn.22Wittels B Glosten B Faure EA et al.Postcesarean analgesia with both epidural morphine and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia: neurobehavioral outcomes among nursing neonates.Anesth Analg. 1997; 85: 600-606Crossref PubMed Google Scholar Future research is needed to examine the ability of TAP block to reduce opioid metabolites in infant plasma.

Patients with conditions such as hypersensitivity to NSAIDs, renal impairment, concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs, or a history of peptic ulcer disease might benefit from TAP block as a practical alternative for pain relief. This review is limited by the small size of included studies and the significant heterogeneity in reporting the primary and secondary outcomes. Our sample comprised 312 patients; however, there are five unpublished trials with 438 patients reported at ‘clinicaltrials.gov’ for which we have no data. This represents a significant risk of publication bias (Appendix). Also, some important outcomes were missing in all trials reviewed, such as differentiation between visceral and somatic pain, effect of TAP block on breastfeeding, and its effect on the incidence of chronic pain after CD. Further limitations include differences in TAP block technique and doses of local anaesthetics used. In the absence of dose-ranging studies that assess the impact of various volumes and concentrations of local anaesthetics on post-Caesarean analgesia produced by TAP block, and since the studies reviewed did not assess patients for the presence of sensory block, we cannot ascertain the success of TAP blocks performed. Additionally, our choice to combine ultrasound-guided and landmark-guided TAP blocks might be challenged by recent evidence that indicates differences between the two techniques. Anatomically guided TAP blocks performed in the triangle of Petit can produce prolonged analgesia, and theoretically less morphine consumption, compared with their ultrasound-guided counterparts,14Abdallah FW Brull R Transversus abdominis plane block: a systematic review.Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2012; 37: 193Crossref PubMed Scopus (176) Google Scholar an observation that can be attributed to paravertebral spread.36Carney J Finnerty O Rauf J Bergin D Laffey J Mc Donnell J Studies on the spread of local anaesthetic solution in transversus abdominis plane blocks.Anaesthesia. 2011; 66: 1023-1030Crossref PubMed Scopus (212) Google Scholar There is evidence to suggest that only a small fraction of landmark-guided blocks deposit local anaesthetics in the correct anatomical plane,37McDermott G Korba E Mata U et al.Should we stop doing blind transversus abdominis plane blocks?.Br J Anaesth. 2012; 108: 499-502Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (87) Google Scholar thus rendering their analgesic efficacy questionable.

Patients in the control groups in all five trials received a saline injection in the TAP, a practice classified as Grade 4 on the scale of serious harm and morbidity (SHAM) as it might predispose parturients to risks similar to those associated with local anaesthetic injection.40Lancaster P Chadwick M Liver trauma secondary to ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block.Br J Anaesth. 2010; 104: 509-510Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (123) Google Scholar 41Farooq M Carey M A case of liver trauma with a blunt regional anesthesia needle while performing transversus abdominis plane block.Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2008; 33: 274-275Crossref PubMed Google Scholar In summary, TAP block constitutes an effective analgesic option for postoperative analgesia after CD performed under spinal anaesthesia when spinal morphine is not used.
