1 Anesthesia & Obstetrics What s New in Post-Cesarean Analgesia? October 23rd, UCSF What Does The Evidence Tell Us? Mark Rollins, MD, PhD UC SF Post-Delivery Pain (Mean pain scores for first 24 hours after delivery) Describe current impact of postcesarean pain Provide an overview of options for post-cesarean analgesia: Neuraxial opioids Systemic opioids Non-opioid analgesics Transversus abdominis plane blocks Discuss the rational and benefits of multimodal analgesia Eisenach JC, et al. Pain 140:

Pain 140: Women with severe acute postpartum pain had a 2.5-fold increased risk of persistent pain and a 3.0-fold increased risk of postpartum depression compared to those with mild postpartum pain. Eisenach JC, et al. Pain 140: Postoperative Analgesic Practice For Cesarean Delivery Patient Preferences for Outcomes Associated with Cesarean Delivery Survey of Institutional Practice: Intrathecal Morphine (spinal) 77% Use of Epidural following C/D 21% Routine Use of PCA 12% NSAIDS 81% Round The Clock 42% PRN 51% Other (often single dose) 7% Acetaminophen 45% Aiono-Tagaloa, et al.

A single bolus of epidural morphine provides better analgesia than parenteral opioids but with an effect limited to the first postoperative day after caesarean section Recommendation: For postoperative analgesia after neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery, neuraxial opioids are preferred over intermittent injections of parenteral opioids. Oral vs. PCA Opioid (Post-Cesarean Analgesia) Oral vs. PCA Opioid (Post-Cesarean Analgesia) Dieterich MD, et al. Arch Gynecol Obstet 286: Dieterich MD, et al. Arch Gynecol Obstet 286:

6 Which PCA related statement do you use? Just press your pain button when ever you need it The use of PCA is a complex, high risk treatment that is associated with harmful events and death Hicks et al m. J. Health Syst. Pharm. Mar 2008; PCA has been identified as #7 of the 10 TOP Health Technology Hazards for 2011 ECRI Institute Report Nov, 2010 MEDMARX and U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) data show that when PCA pumps are involved, the chance for patient harm increases more than 3.5 times (APSF).. Multimodal Analgesia Optimize additive effects of various agents Utilize different modes of analgesia Minimize maternal side effects Reduce transfer of medication to breast milk NSAIDs All NSAIDs have opioid sparing activity - Effective in reducing post-cesarean delivery pain - Enhance opioid analgesia - Decrease opioid-related side effects Non-selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-1 & -2 - Undesirable side effects include platelet dysfunction, renal impairment, and GI irritation American Academy of Pediatrics regards NSAIDs safe for use in breast feeding women Typical post-cesarean dosing in healthy women - Ibuprofen 600mg to 800mg orally every 8 hours Lavoie, et al. Clin Perinatol 40: Flood & Aleshi. Chapter 27, Chestnut s Obstetric Anesthesia. 5 th Ed

7 NSAIDs On-Demand vs. Fixed-Interval Fixed-interval NSAID dosing provides more effective post-operative cesarean analgesia and results in better patient satisfaction compared to on-demand dosing. Jakobi P, et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol 187(4): Acetaminophen Less effective than NSAIDs in decreasing opioid consumption and post-op nausea & vomiting. - Effective in reducing post-cesarean delivery pain - Enhance opioid analgesia - Decrease opioid-related side effects Intravenous acetaminophen available - Higher peak plasma concentrations compared to oral - Dosing 650mg q4 hours or 1000mg q6 hours (4 g/day max) - In nursing mothers infant daily dose is 1% - 2% of maternal - Pharmacokinetics recently determined post-cesarean elimination halflife of 116 minutes - No current analgesic outcome benefit compared to oral Rawlinswon A, et al.

9 TAP Block Efficacy Post-Cesarean Delivery TAP Block Efficacy Post-Cesarean Delivery When spinal morphine is not used, the TAP block can reduce morphine consumption during the first 24-hours. When used in conjunction with spinal morphine there is minimal if any benefit. Rescue TAP blocks should be considered when spinal morphine with multimodal analgesic therapy does not provide adequate pain relief. McDonnell et al. Anesth Analg 106: Abdallah FW, et al.
