| Popis: | A quality assurance study was completed following the implementation of a standardized opioid prescribing and education protocol post cesarean delivery. The primary goal was to determine the need for a policy on postpartum opioid prescribing practices and whether the protocol worked. There was a decrease in the number of tablets provided post intervention and no statistically significant maternal or neonatal readmissions for suspected opioid toxicity or pain control. Combination prescribing of Tylenol 3 and/or tramadol and another opioid occurred in both groups. Our results show a need for concise guidelines regarding opioid prescribing following cesarean delivery. |
