Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to prolong time to first opioid with the TQL block by inserting catheters bilaterally, providing continuous analgesia, in patients undergoing elective CS. Our hypothesis is that it will be possible to significantly extend time to first opioid with the blockade by 66.6%, increasing it from a mean of 5.6 hours to a mean of 10 hours.
