About this episode

Proper pain management after surgery is essential to promote healing and improve patient satisfaction. In this BackTable OBGYN Brief, Dr. Steven McCarus and Dr. Paula Bilica discuss how to advocate for non-opioid analgesia following OBGYN surgery.


The discussion focuses on the importance of reducing opioid use in women's health through various strategies, including the use of Exparel and ERAS protocols. Dr. McCarus and Dr. Bilica share compelling arguments for covering costs and enhancing patient satisfaction, and also touch on hospital administration's role in adopting non-opioid analgesics. The doctors emphasize the need for a team approach and the presence of a dedicated champion to advocate for better pain management practices in women's health.
