简要总结
Multimodal analgesic combination of pentazocine-diclofenac has been found to be superior to pentazocine-piroxicam and was associated with a higher level of maternal satisfaction. our study aims to determine the efficacy of piroxicam when compared with diclofenac as pain relief post caesarean section.
详细描述
ABSTRACT Background: Postoperative pain is unavoidable after caesarean section. It constitutes a big challenge to patient's recovery and maternal-infant bonding. The importance of adequate pain control cannot be over emphasized but there is no gold standard for post caesarean section analgesia. A multimodal approach to post caesarean section pain control has been shown to enhance analgesia and reduce side effects but the right combination of analgesics is yet to be determined.
Objective
To compare the efficacy of Pentazocine and Piroxicam versus Pentazocine and Diclofenac for post caesarean section analgesia within first 24 hours.
Method: Eligible participants undergoingelective caesarean section atAlex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AEFUTHA) and St Patrick's Mile 4 Hospital Abakaliki were randomized into two groups, A and B, of 54 participants each using computer generated list of random numbers. Group A receiveda single dose of intramuscular Piroxicam 20mg, while group B received two doses of intramuscular Diclofenac 75mg given 12 hours apart. Participants in both groups also received intramuscular Pentazocine 30mg 6 hourly for 24 hours. The first dose of the drugs was administered immediately after skin closure. The primary outcome measure was control of postoperative painwithin the first 24 hours after caesarean section assessed using visual analogue scale, while the secondary outcome measures were the maternal drug side effects (epigastric pain, nausea etc) and participants' satisfaction. Data obtained was entered into a predesigned sheet and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS) software (version 24, Chicago II, USA). A difference with a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
