Comparison of dezocine and hydromorphone in post-cesarean epidural analgesia: a retrospective study
Dezocine and hydromorphone demonstrated comparable analgesic effectiveness when administered via patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) following cesarean delivery. However, dezocine was associated with a significantly lower incidence of opioid-related adverse effects, indicating that it may serve as a safer and more tolerable alternative for postoperative pain management in obstetric patients.
