Abstract SUMMARY Post-caesarean section pain is an important issue in obstetrics. Several studies have shown the importance of adequate postoperative analgesia on mobilization, rehabilitation, and decreasing the length of hospital stay. Large amounts of opioid analgesic drugs are often required in the management of intense post-operative pain. However this option is associated with many side effects. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of cesarean section wound infiltration with local tramadol or lidocaine on post-operative pain relief in comparison with placebo. Populations of the study were comprised of 99 pregnant full term female, going to have cesarean section. All patients had cesarean section under spinal anesthesia and received post-operative analgesia Diclofenac sodium (ampoule -75mg) on demand according to visual analogue scale. Pain was assessed using a 10cm visual analogue scale (VAS) after 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours post-operatively. The amount of analgesic consumed after 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours was calculated in mg.The study population been randomized into 3 groups: 1-The 1st group A (n=33women): The wound was infiltrated during skin closure with 20ml of 0.9% saline. Patient received diclofenac sodium postoperative according to visual analogue scale. 2-The 2nd group B (n=33women): The wound was infiltrated during skin closure with 20 ml of 1% lidocaine hydrochloride. Patient received diclofenac sodium post-operative on demand according to visual analogue scale. 3- The 3rd group C(n=33women) : The wound was infiltrated during skin closure with 50mg tramadol diluted in 20ml of 0.9 saline. Patient will be received diclofenac sodium post-operative according to visual analogue scale. Present study revealed that: The infiltration of the surgical wound of a cesarean section with tramadol after giving spinal anesthesia provided statistically significant degree of post -operative analgesia as shown by less pain scores and reduction in post-operative analgesic use. The infiltration of the surgical wound of a cesarean section with lidocaine after giving spinal anesthesia provided no statistically significant degree of post-operative analgesia as shown by no significant reduction in pain scores and postoperative analgesic use. The use of tramadol wound infiltration in cesarean section is a good choose for post-operative analgesia. |
