INTRODUCTION:One in 300 opioid-naïve women develop opioid addiction following cesarean delivery (CD). Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways provide a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach to postoperative care and have been shown to decrease postoperative opioid consumption. We implemented an ERAS CD pathway and evaluated the impact on postoperative opioid use and pain scores. METHODS:We conducted an IRB approved, retrospective cohort study comparing postoperative opioid use and pain scores among women on the ERAS CD pathway in the first year of implementation (4/2017-3/2018, n=531) compared to historical controls (3/2016-2/2017, n=661). Women with pregestational diabetes on insulin preconception, preeclampsia with severe features, and/or complex pain needs were excluded. Analysis was stratified for women undergoing planned (no labor, n=530) and unplanned (labor, n=662) CD. Postoperative opioid use and pain scores were compared using chi-squared and t-tests. RESULTS:During implementation, 531 (83%) of 640 eligible women were included in the ERAS CD pathway. Compared to baseline, the ERAS CD pathway resulted in an overall decrease of 13.7% (p=0.001) in postoperative opioid use with a 23.2% reduction in patients with unplanned CD (p<0.001). There was no difference in postoperative opioid use in patients with planned CD (p=0.456). ERAS patients with planned CD had a 9.5% reduction in pain scores on postoperative day 0 (p<0.05). There were no other significant differences in pain scores. CONCLUSION:The ERAS CD pathway was associated with decreased postoperative opioid use overall. Interestingly, the decrease in opioid use was driven by the unplanned CD subset. Further research should explore these differences.
