Pain During a Cesarean Delivery

Pain During a Cesarean Delivery

In this episode, Dr. Mark I. Zakowski delves into the pressing issue of pain during cesarean delivery. During our interview, we explore how our societies (ASA and SOAP) are collaborating to provide practitioners with valuable insights into managing this problem that affects approximately 15-20% of cesarean delivery patients. The ASA approved the “Statement on Pain during Cesarean Delivery” from the Committee on Obstetric Anesthesia, which advises all practitioners on the pervasive problem of failure to achieve pain-free cesarean delivery. This is a testament of how our societies are collaborating to improve patient care.
