Study Summary

Purpose: To determine if IV acetaminophen can 1) decrease pain in pregnancy women, 2)reduce the amount of opioid use in pregnant women who encounter pain, 3) reduce maternal and fetal adverse effects compared to opioids. Design: This is a comparative effective trial that is a randomized, controlled trial of IV acetaminophen vs. IV morphine in pregnant women. Procedures: Women meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized to IV acetaminophen or IV morphine. The IV acetaminophen group will get up to four standard doses of IV acetaminophen during their stay at the hospital. The second group will get up to six standard doses of morphine. Subjects will complete a pain scale after medication administration and will be asked about any side effects.

Primary Outcome

The visual analogue scale (VAS) ranges from 0mm to 140mm. The subject will be asked to mark with a pen on the scale to rate their pain. Negative differences in scores indicated a pain score worse than baseline and positive differences indicated an improved pain score from baseline.
