Precision Anesthesia: A Genomics Study of Post Cesarean Section Narcotic Requirements

This is planned as a multicenter project that will enroll 25 elective Cesarean section patients and gather demographic data, perioperative opioid requirements and perform genetic testing to seek preliminary evidence linking the extremes of opioid requirements (high and low) to genetics. This is intended as a pilot project to demonstrate proof of concept and the feasibility of a much larger multicenter study, with the eventual goal of defining the genomics of postoperative opioid requirements needed for pain control.
