Our women come back from theatre with only an IDC insitu, and IVT. No
epidural. Women are given PR Voltaren bd (100mg) and PR Paracetamol (1g)
qid, until eating. Once eating and tolerating diet....(usually within 24 to
36 hours), oral voltaren (50mg) and oral paracetamol are given. The
volataren is only given for a total of 3 days. Paracetamol is weaned as
required...most women are needing less panadol by day 4to 5. I have found
this to be very effective for pain relief....more effective than leaving the
epidural in for 24hours, as i have seen in the past.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] post LUSCS analgesia
Was wondering what other units use as a pain relief regime for women that
have had LUSCS. There is much angst in our unit at present, with midwives
coming from lots of different hospitals used to different regimes. I am in
the process of initiating a pathway for this so that we can adopt a regime
that everyone is comfortable with and then putting it to the docs,
references and all.
Thanks in advance
Sally
