Postoperative Pain Management of Caesarean Section
Sponsor: Mackay Memorial Hospital
Summary
Caesarean section is one of the most frequent surgeries causing severe postoperative pain. Poor management of acute pain can contribute to postoperative complications, late recovery and the development of chronic pain. Moreover, it had been demonstrated that the intensity of postpartum pain is associated with depression. It is imperative to find out appropriate methods of postpartum pain alleviation. Currently, a lot of analgesic drugs and methods have been developed and used in clinical practice, such as patient-controlled analgesia, extended-release analgesics and multimodal analgesia. This prospective cohort study is aimed to investigate the outcome of each postoperative analgesic method used in caesarean section.

Interventions
Intravenous patient-control analgesia
At the two trial sites, IV-PCA is commonly used with morphine. The device is installed after delivery and removed within 3 days.
Dinalbuphine sebacate
Dinalbuphine sebacate is a prodrug of nalbuphine. With oil-based formulation, the active ingredient releases slowly and the effect lasts longer than nalbuphine. After delivery, a single 150 mg dose of dinalbuphine sebacate is administered intramuscularly.
