Comparison of a Patient Controlled Oral Administration (PCOA) of Analgesic Protocol With an IV Administration After Planned Caesarian Section : Monocentric, Randomised and Controlled Study
Abstract
C-section deliveries are painful and need adequate analgesia. In the same time, mothers need early rehabilitation to take care of the baby.
Hypothesis: Early oral self administration of painkillers could be as effective as usual IV administration by nursing staff.
Purpose of the study: Evaluation of the efficacy of a program of self administration of painkillers postoperatively of C-section delivery.
Conditions: Caesarian Section.
Primary outcome: Median pain score during the first 48 hours (Verbal rating PAin Scale).
Enrollment: 80 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 80 participants or records.
