This study aimed to detect if continuous local infusion of levobupivacaine with the On-Q Painbuster system provided postoperative analgesia of similar quality to morphine + ketorolac i.v. in patients undergoing cesarean section. Using a randomized prospective double-blind study, 20 women undergoing cesarean section with a standardized spinal technique were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either 10 mg morphine + 120 mg ketorolac + saline solution up to 96 ml with an elastomeric pump i.v. (group A) or local infusion of levobupivacaine 0.2% with the On-Q PAINBUSTER system (group B). Both groups were administered ketorolac i.v. in bolus in case of pain. The two groups differed in their VAS scores with group A experiencing significantly less pain than group B; the consumption of analgesics was significantly lower in group A than in group B. The i.v. system with morphine and ketorolac is more effective than levobupivacaine subcutaneous infusion in reducing postoperative pain associated with cesarean section.

Abstract

This study aimed to detect if continuous local infusion of levobupivacaine with the On-Q Painbuster system provided postoperative analgesia of similar quality to morphine + ketorolac i.v. in patients undergoing cesarean section. Using a randomized prospective double-blind study, 20 women undergoing cesarean section with a standardized spinal technique were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either 10 mg morphine + 120 mg ketorolac + saline solution up to 96 ml with an elastomeric pump i.v. (group A) or local infusion of levobupivacaine 0.2% with the On-Q PAINBUSTER system (group B). Both groups were administered ketorolac i.v. in bolus in case of pain. The two groups differed in their VAS scores with group A experiencing significantly less pain than group B; the consumption of analgesics was significantly lower in group A than in group B. The i.v. system with morphine and ketorolac is more effective than levobupivacaine subcutaneous infusion in reducing postoperative pain associated with cesarean section.
