Implementing an institution-wide interdisciplinary, multimodal strategy that includes 24-hour epidural analgesia service can significantly improve the quality of pain management during labor and delivery, according to research presented August 22nd at the 10th World Congress on Pain (WCP).
Thomas E. Elliott, RN, and colleagues at the St. Mary’s/Duluth Clinic Health System, Duluth, Minnesota, United States, conducted a pre-intervention evaluation of 100 consecutive labor and delivery patients. Ninety consecutive women were evaluated post-intervention.
Women were asked to evaluate both labor pain and pain during the 24-hours post delivery. The primary efficacy endpoint was mean pain intensity score during labor and delivery using a pain scale in which 0 equals no pain and 10 equals worst pain possible.
