ABSTRACT
Resumen: El dolor por cesárea se caracteriza por ser moderado a severo. El manejo analgésico inicia en el preoperatorio con la evaluación de los factores de riesgo, continúa con la técnica anestésica y termina con la planificación de la analgesia postoperatoria. La técnica anestésica recomendada es el bloqueo epidural, siempre y cuando no existan signos de amenaza inminente para la vida de la mujer o el feto como: coagulopatía, choque hipovolémico, aumento de la presión intracraneal e insuficiencia respiratoria aguda. Para el bloqueo epidural se recomienda el uso de dosis combinada de anestésico local, adyuvante opioide y bicarbonato. En el postoperatorio, la analgesia debe ser multimodal, aplicando vía intravenosa AINE/COX-2 y complementar el manejo con paracetamol, continuando con analgesia epidural controlada por el paciente. Recientemente, técnicas regionales como el bloqueo TAP bilateral (plano transverso del abdomen) y el bloqueo iliohipogástrico e ilioinguinal bilateral han demostrado ser buenas estrategias analgésicas (para ver artículo completo visitehttp://www.painoutmexico.com).
Abstract: Cesarean section pain is expected from moderate to severe. The analgesic management begins in the preoperative, with the evaluation of the risk factors, continues with the definition of the anesthetic technique to be used, and finish with the planed anesthetic technique. Recommended anesthetic technique is epidural block, provided there is no imminent threat to the life of the woman or the fetus, coagulopathies, hypovolemic shock, increased intracranial pressure and acute respiratory. For epidural block the combined dose of local anesthetic, opioid adjuvant and bicarbonate is recommended. In the postoperative period, analgesia should be multimodal applying intravenously the synergy of NSAIDs/COX-2 and continuing with analgesia via epidural controlled by the patient (PCA). Regional techniques such as transverse plane blockage of the abdomen and iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal block are good analgesic strategies (for full version and recommendations visithttp://www.painoutmexico.com) .
ABSTRACT
In order to observe the effect of postoperative analgesia with epidural morphine on the prolactin and colostrum after cesarean section. Method: Forty healthy full-term parturients undergoing elective cesarean section under epidural anesthesia, were randomly divided into two groups: the analgesic group (group A, n=20)and the controlled group (group C, n=20). Postoperative follow-up time was 48 hours. The plasma prolactin level was determined with radioimmunoassay. Result: The VAS of group A was significantly lower than that of group C (P
