    ObjectiveTo compare the analgesia quality obtained in the management of the acute pain in 50 puerperae post-cesarean section using one of the two therapeutic modalities. The results were evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics.Material And MethodControlled, systematized a clinical trial, carried out from January to June of 2001. REGIMES AND RESULTS: A) Continuous epidural analgesia. With fentanyl citrate plus bupivacaine using a low flow elastomerics infuser (Single day Baxter infuser) 85% referred mild pain in rest or activity; 3% or less in analogic scale visual (VAS) in the first 24 hours of postoperative. B) Intermittent epidural analgesia. With bupivacaine plus intravenous Ketorolaco; 59% of the cases referred mild pain, 32% moderate pain and 9% severe.ConclusionManagement of acute pain postcesarean section should be priority with continuous epidural analgesia using the infuser and concentrations of drugs referred in order to minimize the incidence and magnitude of acute postoperative pain.
