Introduction Effective postoperative analgesia following lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) is crucial for promoting surgical recovery and fostering maternal-neonatal bonding. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two IV dexamethasone doses (8 mg and 4 mg) in managing postoperative pain in LSCS patients. The objective was to assess whether the 4 mg dose provides comparable pain relief to the 8 mg dose, with the goal of identifying the optimal dosage for effective pain management with minimal side effects.

Author Affiliations: Department of Pediatrics (Drs Sprecher and Uhing), Department of Anesthesiology (Dr Labovsky), Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Children's Wisconsin (Mss Roeloffs, and Czarnecki, Dr Kissell, and Ms Hornung), Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Background: Postoperative pain management in the neonatal period is an area of high variability and a source of staff dissatisfaction. Pain management is a key component of high-quality care; however, pain assessment in infants is difficult and analgesics can negatively impact the developing brain.

Purpose: We aimed to improve postoperative pain control for infants in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), limit variability in the approach to pain management, and increase staff satisfaction.
