- Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to compare the effect of dexmedmotidine and ketamine on controlling pain after cesarean section via intra-peritoneal method. Methods In this clinical and double-blind clinical trial, patients were randomly divided into two groups (dexmedmotidine and ketamine). In the first group, 5 mg/kg ketamine and 1 mg/kg dexmedetomidine were injected in 100 mg normal saline. Pain score was measured on the basis of the visual analog pain scale during the recovery at 4, 6 and 12 h after the surgery. The data were then analyzed by SPSS (version 20). Results A total of 70 patients participated in the study. The results showed that the mean pain scores were the same in different postoperative hours in patients (P = 0.05). The mean opioid use in the ketamine group was lower than inter-peritoneal dexmedmotidine (P = 0.03). Moreover, the mean postoperative analgesia in the ketamine group was higher than inter-peritoneal dexmedmotidine (P = 0.04). Conclusion According to the results, the mean opioid consumed in the ketamine group was less than inter-peritoneal dexmedmotidine. Additionally, the mean postoperative analgesia in the ketamine group was higher than that of inter-peritoneal dimethomidine. Therefore, it can be concluded that ketamine has a better effect on reducing pain after cesarean section.
