“…This method of controlling incisional pain was reported to have sig-nificant advantages over continuous epidural analgesia for post-laparotomy pain in a comparative evaluation of the technique done later [1]. Perfusion of surgical wounds with local anaesthetic solution has been done for breast lump excision [5}, upper abdominal surgeries [4], and inguinal herniorrhaphy [6].…”

A simple, safe, and effective technique of postop analgesia using wound perfusion with bupivacaine 0.25% via an indwelling intracatheter inserted in the depth of the wound was carried out on 25 ASA grade 1111 patients of varying age groups reporting for a variety of surgical procedures. The first dose was given prior to shifting the patient from the OT. Subsequent doses were administered on patient demand basis. The intracatheter was kept in position for 48-72 hours postop. An analysis was made on the patients' pain relief using a visual analogue scale, dose/frequency of bupivacaine required, dose/type of supplemental analgesia needed, haemodynamic changes during Infiltration, wound healing, and patient satisfaction. In this study only 12% of patients required opioids on Day One postoperatively. There were no adverse effects of Infiltration either systemically or on wound healing, and all the patients had excellent postop analgesia. MJAFI 2000; 56: 309·313

Inadequately treated pain may result in cardiac dysrhythmias, hypertension, and myocardial ischaemia, with disastrous consequences.…”
