Abstract

Objective: Procedure-specific pain management (PROSPECT) provides clinicians with evidence-based recommendations for postoperative pain management. It was aimed to evaluate the preferences of Anesthesiology and Reanimation physicians for postpartum analgesia management. Methods: A questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was prepared, including demographic data, cesarean surgery and postpartum analgesia practices, and whether PROSPECT recommendations were followed. This questionnaire was sent to participants via e-mail. Results: The study included 247 participants. Thirtysix percent of participants reported following PROSPECT recommendations and 55.1% of participants reported prefering opioids routinely or in combination with other techniques for cesarean surgery and postpartum analgesia. Eightyfive percent of the participants think that inadequate postpartum analgesic treatment was performed. Conclusion: Inadequate postpartum analgesia appears to be a common problem. The potential of maternofetal interaction is reported to be the most important reason for this situation. We think that training on postoperative pain management following cesarean surgery will make a significant contribution to eliminating concerns about maternal-fetal interaction.
