Continuous Wound Infiltration for Diminution of Post-surgery Pain After Caesarean Section (dip-Caesar)
Continuous Wound Infiltration for Diminution of Post-surgery Pain After Caesarean Section (Dip-Caesar)
研究概览
详细说明
During the past decades the rate of Caesarean sections has increased considerably, with Germany following the global trend. When compared to other surgical interventions, Caesarean section is perceived as very painful. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is associated with significantly higher opioid dosage, as compared to cases where the same medication is administered on patient's request as a bolus by the attending staff. Conceivably, patients using PCA reported less painful sensations. Nonetheless, several patients and physicians express reservations concerning the use of opioids for pain management in lactating mothers. Peripheral application of local anesthetics (e.g. as wound infiltration or peripheral nerve blockade) has been shown in several settings to reduce the demand of systemic drug dosage in pain management. The intended effect, however, lasts only for a couple of hours. Feasibility of subsequent bolus drug applications is hampered by ethical concerns (being an invasive procedure) as well as staff strains and cost effectiveness considerations. Hence, a medical device that warrants continuous and reliable administration of local analgesics might substantially improve pain management in obstetric patients. ReadyfusOR® is a medical device that has been approved for use for such purposes.
This study will record the use of the Ropivacaine formulation ReadyfusOR® under real life conditions in a representative sample. Ropivacaine formulation ReadyfusOR® is established as a standard procedure for diminution of post-surgery pain in the Department of Obstetrics of the Jena University Hospital. The gathered information will be used to augment the knowledge about outcomes and safety of the Ropivacaine formulation ReadyfusOR® using for treatment of patients undergoing Caesarean section. Analgesic efficacy will be monitored at defined intervals over an observation period of 48 h post-surgery using patient's subjective ratings of spontaneous and strain-induced pain perception, as well as the demand of auxiliary dosing of standard analgesic treatment.
At the end of surgery and prior to closure of the abdomen the drug infusion catheter of Readyfusor® is inserted subfascially. An initial priming dose of 10 mL of 2mg/mL ropivacain will be injected through the catheter. After the catheter has been primed with the initial loading dose, the Readyfusor® is activated by the surgeon or nurse in the operating room and connected to the wound catheter. As described in the product information, the wound edges are supplied with Ropivacain over 48 h at a rate of 10 mg/hour (5 mL/hr). During the first 48 h post-surgery patients receive standard pain management with Ibuprofen at doses of 600 mg administered in intervals of 8 hours. If the patients are free of pain Ibuprofen application can be reduced as needed. The synthetic opioid Piritramide is used as pain medication on demand for patients who report mild to severe pain defined as 5 or more points on a 10-point-Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). In either available application option - as PCA or a bolus injection by the attending nurse - the dose of Piritramide is limited to 30 mg over 4 hours and each single application are limited to 3mg every 10 minutes.
Maximal intensity of pain at rest and pain due to mobilization (first standing up) will be assessed at intervals of 12, 24 and 48 h after treatment introduction by means of patient's statements plotted on individual numeric rating scales for each endpoint. The primary endpoint focuses on assessing the perceived spontaneous pain intensity at 24 h post-surgery.
Further characterization of the pain-relieving effect of ReadyfusOR® will be provided by the records on the fractional doses of the auxiliary opioid analgesic Piritramide administered within 12, 24 and 48 h post-surgery. The individual time needed for the recovery of mobility will provide an additional tool for treatment effect evaluation.
Finally, NRS-recorded patient's ratings on subjectively perceived satisfaction with the post-surgical pain management will be evaluated.
