Study evaluates pain relief from continuous ropivacaine versus epidural morphine after unplanned caesarean delivery, suggesting improved outcomes.
Eur J Anaesthesiol. 2025;42:449–457 doi:10.1097/EJA.0000000000002135 Effective post-cesarean delivery pain control is a critical component of an “enhanced recovery” pathway and allows postpartum milestones to be met early. There are many possible components of a multimodal postpartum analgesia plan, yet no universally accepted opinion exists regarding wound catheters as part of such protocols. In this study authors aimed to evaluate whether continuous ropivacaine wound infiltration could provide pain relief comparable to epidural morphine after unplanned caesarean delivery (CD), while potentially reducing opioid-related side effects.
