A similar number of women from each group regarded their breasts as engorged before the first application (32: treatment vs 29: control). There was no statistically significant difference in the women’s perception of engorgement noted.

Breast massage was also instructed to this group and was to be performed 4-5 times after feeds. Nipple preparation was begun at 34 weeks. Massage was initiated in the postpartal period and continued for 4 days. 25 of the women completed the study. The nipple conditioning and breast massage were performed on one breast and the other breast was used as control. Only one participant noted no difference in nipple tenderness. The cumulative tenderness ratings for the other 24 participants noted less overall pain on the experimental side ( p = 0.001). Seven women performing massage noted no difference in engorgement between breasts. Fourteen women performing massage reported less overall engorgement on the experimental side ( p = 0.004).

Only 4 patients in the Danzen group and 8 in the placebo group breastfed their infants during the study. Three patients in the Danzen group and 5 in the placebo group used massage and pumping during treatment. The improvement ratings revealed marked improvement in 22.9% of the women in the Danzen group as compared to 2.9% in the placebo group. 85.7% in the Danzen group reported either marked or moderate improvement compared to 60% in the placebo group.

Mean pre-treatment pain rating was 5.4 using the Bourbonnais pain ruler. Post-treatment mean pain rating was 3.3 for chilled cabbage leaves and 3.4 for room temperature leaves. This represented a 37-38% reduction in pain rating which was statistically significant ( p = 0.001) from pre-treatment. There was no statistically significant difference between treatment groups.

Engorgement occurred between 2 and 6 days postpartum Engorgement Annotated Bibliography Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine August, 2006 with 50% occurring on day 3. Mean onset of engorgement was 3.6 days in primipara and 2.8 days in multiparous women. Prior to treatment, the mean pain rating using the Bourbonnais pain ruler was 5.9. The post treatment mean rating for cabbage leaves was 4.1 and 3.7 for gelpaks.There was no statistically significant difference between treatment groups with both representing a statistically significant reduction in pain from pre-treatment levels ( p = 0.0001). Cabbage leaves reduced pain by 1.8 points (30%) and gelpaks reduced pain by 2.2 points (39%). Sixty-eight % reported relief within 1-2 hours.

It is usually defined by a sustained prolactin level above the laboratory upper level of normal in conditions other than that where physiologic hyperprolactinemia is expected. Normal prolactin levels vary significantly among different laboratories and studies. Several studies indicate that olanzapine does not significantly affect serum prolactin levels in the long term, although this statement has been challenged.

    AWHONN Compendium of Postpartum Care THIRD EDITION AWHONN Compendium of Postpartum Care Third Edition Editors: Patricia D. Suplee, PhD, RNC-OB Jill Janke, PhD, WHNP, RN This Compendium was developed by AWHONN as an informational resource for nursing practice. The Compendium does not define a standard of care, nor is it intended to dictate an exclusive course of management. It presents general methods and techniques of practice that AWHONN believes to be currently and widely viewed as acceptable, based on current research and recognized authorities. Proper care of individual patients may depend on many individual factors to be considered in clinical practice, as well as professional judgment in the techniques described herein. Variations and innovations that are consistent with law and that demonstrably improve the quality of patient care should be encouraged. AWHONN believes the drug classifications and product selection set forth in this text are in accordance with current recommendations and practice at the time of publication. However, in view of ongoing research, changes in government regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions, the reader is urged to check information available in other published sources for each drug for potential changes in indications, dosages, warnings, and precautions. This is particularly important when a recommended agent is a new product or drug or an infrequently employed drug. In addition, appropriate medication use may depend on unique factors such as individuals’ health status, other medication use, and other factors that the professional must consider in clinical practice. The information presented here is not designed to define standards of practice for employment, licensure, discipline, legal, or other purposes.
