Abstract:Background and aims The present randomized open label parallel group study was conducted to evaluate if an oral oxycodone (OXY) regimen can be at least equally effective and as safe for postoperative analgesia after caesarean section (CS) as a standard of care program using nurse-administered intravenous morphine (IVM), followed by oral codeine. Methods Eighty women (40 + 40) were scheduled for elective CS under spinal anaesthesia. All patients received postoperative multimodal analgesic therapy, including ibu… Show more
“…This has been documented for paracetamol and ibuprofen, and for paracetamol and diclofenac [16]. Niklasson and co-workers did administer paracetamol and ibuprofen to all of their post caesarean women, thus reducing the need for opioids [1].…”

“…It is therefore particularly unfortunate to prescribe codeine-containing tablets for postoperative pain relief. Thus, Niklasson and co-workers found that oral oxycodone shortened the time to first defecation after CS compared with IV morphine and oral codeine [1].…”

“…A pragmatic study like the present study [1], in which patients and those treating the patients and evaluating the outcomes were not blinded, will have a number of confounding factors, and the results may not be valid for other populations in other circumstances [2]. However, a pragmatic study can document that a new regimen of pain management is at least as effective and safe as the standard of care therapy used before.…”

“…However, a pragmatic study can document that a new regimen of pain management is at least as effective and safe as the standard of care therapy used before. The pragmatic study of Niklasson and co-workers documents that their new regimen of oral oxycodone (added to paracetamol and ibuprofen) needs less personnel resources and is at least as safe as their standard of care with nurse-administered IV morphine at start and oral codeine containing tablets later on [1] of surgery when the patients are able to take oral medication soon after end of surgery [3][4][5].…”

“…It makes sense to administer a dose of OxyContin ® that is sufficient for most patients with severe pain when deepbreathing/coughing after abdominal surgery (20 mg) on top of paracetamol and ibuprofen, letting the patient take the immediate release and shorter acting oxycodone tablet, when needed [1,8].…”
