What I am used to is the women having a spinal and that 1-2mg morphine
is put in the spinal. The woman has a voltaren 100mg supp whilst in
theatre post op and then BD or swaps to oral 50mg as chosen. We start
giving regular panadol within 24 hours usually prior to getting her up
or as needed but encourage the woman to ask for it regulkarly and we
find this is all they need. What often happens is that they wait for
midwives to offer it and then need panadeine but I find if you give the
panadol regularly with the oral voltaren this is usually adequate.

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
