    AIM: The issue of preemptive or preventive use of paracetamol still raises questions in terms of multimodal analgesia in cesarean delivery. A combination of paracetamol and opioid is commonly used for pain management after cesarean delivery. This study aims to compare postoperative pain level and analgesic consumption when using paracetamol at two different perioperative times in cesarean section. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty patients recruited for elective cesarean section under general anesthesia were included in this prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive iv 1 g paracetamol 15 minutes before incision (Group PE) or after delivery of newborn (Group PV). Visual analog scale (VAS) values, 24-hour morphine consumption, additional analgesic requirement, side effects, and patient and surgeons' satisfaction were recorded. RESULTS: Demographic data and hemodynamic values of the patients were similar in both groups. There was no differences between groups in terms of VAS scores at rest and during movement, additional analgesic requirement during the postoperative 1st hour, and 24-hour total morphine consumption. There was no difference in side effects, and patient and surgeon satisfaction scores postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Preemptive and preventive use of paracetamol provides the same quality of analgesia and opioid sparing effect without increasing the frequency of adverse effects.

    Vaginal Birth or Cesarean Section: Recommendations of Women Who Delivered Via Both Methods
    (2016) Guldeniz, Aksan Desteli; Turkan, Gursu
    Aim: To determine which method is recommended by women who have delivered via both methods and their reasons for this recommendation. Material and Method: The study included 204 women, mean age was 42 +/- 7.6 years with history of both vaginal and cesarean delivery. A questionnaire was prepared about experiences with vaginal and caesarean delivery. Results: Reasons for cesarean section were maternal preference (40), and obstetric indications (164). Of the 204 women, 129 (63.2%) recommended vaginal delivery to other women. More participants who experienced difficult labor during vaginal delivery recommended cesarean delivery than those who considered their vaginal delivery "easy" (65.4% vs. 10.4%, p<0.01). Recommendation of cesarean section increased significantly with the level of education (p=0.011). The most frequent reason for recommend vaginal delivery was postpartum comfort (64.3%), for recommend cesarean delivery were easy labor (53.3%). Most women who delivered via cesarean section due to obstetric indications (69.6%) recommended vaginal route, whereas most who chose cesarean delivery (62.5%) recommended cesarean section. Discussion: Among women who had delivered via both methods, 63.2% of those recommended vaginal delivery due to primarily postpartum comfort. Patients who recommend cesarean section regarded it as easier primarily because of pain during vaginal delivery.
