During the past decades the rate of Caesarean sections has increased considerably, with Germany following the global trend. When compared to other surgical interventions, Caesarean section is perceived as very painful. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is associated with significantly higher opioid dosage, as compared to cases where the same medication is administered on patient's request as a bolus by the attending staff. Conceivably, patients using PCA reported less painful sensations. Nonetheless, several patients and physicians express reservations concerning the use of opioids for pain management in lactating mothers. Peripheral application of local anesthetics (e.g. as wound infiltration or peripheral nerve blockade) has been shown in several settings to reduce the demand of systemic drug dosage in pain management. The intended effect, however, lasts only for a couple of hours. Feasibility of subsequent bolus drug applications is hampered by ethical concerns (being an invasive procedure) as well as staff strains and cost effectiveness considerations. Hence, a medical device that warrants continuous and reliable administration of local analgesics might substantially improve pain management in obstetric patients. ReadyfusOR® is a medical device that has been approved for use for such purposes.
