Take Home Analgesia after Caesarean Section (THAnCS)

The aim of this project was to assess the subjective efficacy of post-operative analgesia in women following a Caesarean Section.

The first part comprised a retrospective analysis of the case notes of all women who had a Caesarean Section during the 2 week data collection period. The second part involved a structure telephone interview which took place in the 10-14 days following delivery.

Data collection was completed in March 2014.
