Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Postoperative Pain Score (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) at Rest
visual analogue scale (VAS; with 0, no pain; to 10, the worst imaginable pain) is a validated assessing scale for pain intensity. VAS at rest was assessed when the patient was in supine position

Secondary Outcome Measures

Relative Infant Dose (RID) of Dexmedetomidine
Relative infant dose (RID) =Dose (infant, mg•kg-1•day-1) /Dose (mother, mg•kg-1•day-1) μg·kg-1·h-1. The Dose (infant) in mg•kg-1 is calculated by multiplying the concentration of the drug in breast milk by the volume of breast milk consumed daily (about 150 mL•kg-1).
Postoperative Pain Score (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) at Rest
visual analogue scale (VAS; with 0, no pain; to 10, the worst imaginable pain) is a validated assessing scale for pain intensity. VAS at rest was assessed when the patient was in supine position
Ramsay Sedation Score(RSS)
Sedation intensity measured with RSS is recorded at the 6, 12 24 and 48 h after cesarean section. Sedation was assessed by the Ramsay Sedation Scores (RSS) (1, anxious patient; 2, cooperative and tranquil; 3, responding to command; 4, brisk response to stimulus; 5, sluggish response to stimulus; 6, no response to stimulus).
The Degree of Satisfaction
The degree of satisfaction (0, very satisfied; 1, satisfied; 2, moderately satisfied; 3, not satisfied) was evaluated at 48 h after surgery. The number of overall satisfied patients (satisfied and very satisfied) is reported.
Number of Participants That Experienced Nausea or Vomiting
Total times during 48h after cesarean section.
