ABSTRACT : In double blind study, 50 subjects were randomized to recieved incision infiltration of either bupivacaine hydrochloride, a newer drug (1mg/kg body weight) and placebo (50 ml 0.9% NaCI) during the wound closure following primary cesarean section. Incisional infiltration of bupivacain hydrochloride provided significantly longer postoperative analgesia (more than 17 hours) than placebo (less than 7 hours). Moreover, the need for more postoperative analgesics was m inimized. No significant side effects were noted. Incisional infiltration of bupivacaine hydrochloride is thus effective in the control of pain following cesarean section.
