Abstract
Inadequately treated postoperative pain can contribute significantly to morbidity of surgical patients, resulting in the delay of patients’ recovery and ability to return to daily functional activities. Early recovery is especially important for a patient who is expected to take care of her newborn shortly after an operative procedure. Evidence from studies done in high income settings has demonstrated that inadequately treated pain after cesarean section is associated with an increased incidence of chronic pain and post-traumatic stress syndrome. Hence the present study was planned for clinical evaluation of pain scores in the caesarean section cases undergoing intraoperative anesthetic management in post anesthesia care unit. The present study was planned in Department of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Shree Krishna Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India. Total 20 cases of the Caesarean sections (CS) undergoing the spinal anesthesia were enrolled in the present study. The data generated from the present study concludes that patients undergoing CS under RA, the need for rescue analgesia was less compared to patients operated under GA in the initial 30 min in PACU. In addition, patients who were operated under GA and received IV morphine as intraoperative analgesia had better pain scores compared to patients receiving nalbuphine or tramadol. The overall pain management in the PACU was adequate as all patients were given rescue analgesia if they had NRS of >4 and no patient was shifted from PACU with NRS of >4.
