I agree...the panadol and voltaren must be given regularly for the first 3
days, to be most effective.

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
