Effective management of post operative pain is crucial for recovery. Common strategies include:
Pharmacologic interventions: This involves the use of medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and local anesthetics. Non-pharmacologic interventions: Techniques such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and relaxation exercises can also be beneficial. Regional anesthesia: Epidural or spinal anesthesia can provide effective pain relief, particularly in major surgeries like cesarean sections. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA): This allows patients to self-administer a controlled amount of pain medication.
