Does the perioperative use of NSAIDs reduce pain scores and opioid consumption in patients undergoing cesarean deliveries?
Perioperative NSAIDs effectively improve analgesia and reduce opioid requirements and sedation in patients undergoing cesarean delivery.
The perioperative use of NSAIDs in cesarean delivery patients will result in a significantly lower pain scores, less opioid consumption, and less drowsiness/sedation but no difference in nausea or vomiting compared to those who did not receive NSAIDs. Further research should address the optimal NSAID regimen and examine the effect of improved analgesia on patient-centered outcomes such as patient satisfaction and quality of breastfeeding.
