Abstract
Objective: To evaluate postoperative pain status of women after caesarean section under spinal anesthesia and medications for pain relief. Subject and method: A prospective, cross-sectional study on 115 women who underwent caesarean section under spinal anesthesia at Department of Gynaecology, 108 Military Central Hospital, from January 1st to March 1st 2020. Pain assessment was done using VAS score. Result: Mean age was 29.0 ± 4.1 years old. Pain occurred mostly at the first day after caesarean section, with mean VAS score at the sixth hour and 24th hour was 5.88 ± 1.35 and 4.7 ± 1.8, respectively. The rate of women with VAS score > 6 at sixth hour and 24th hour was 39.1% and 16.5%. All of women (100%) were given NSAIDs for pain relief after caesarean section for 24 to 48 hours, but none needed opioid. Conclusion: Pain in women with caesarean section under spinal anesthesia occurs mainly in the first 24 hours, requires pain relief by only using NSAIDs but not opioid.
