Redness, swelling, pain, or discharge at catheter
site
Skin rash or hives
Excessive excitability, restlessness, or extreme
drowsiness
Side effects from the medication, including:
dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in ears, metallic taste in mouth,
numbness & tingling of the mouth and lips, nausea, vomiting, and/or any
other side effects that you do not feel are normal.
It should be noted that you may experience
numbness around the incision site, so you should be careful, so as to avoid
injury to the area.
ON-Q is put in place by your surgeon and provides
continuous pain relief in those important first days after surgery.
ON-Q is a small high-tech balloon that holds local
anesthetic (a pain numbing medication) and delivers it through a tiny
specially-designed tube directly into the surgical incision site. The medication
is delivered continuously and slowly for up to five days after surgery.
Similar to your dentist injecting
Novocaine into your
mouth to create a numbing effect, ON-Q soaks the surgical site to create a
numbing effect. Because ON-Q directs the medication only into the area where you
have pain, the rest of your body stays in your normal, comfortable state.
On-Q System is simple effective and requires you to
do nothing so you can concentrate on your life while you recover comfortably and
quickly.

What is the end result? Your pain is relieved and you avoid the nausea,
breathing problems, drowsiness, grogginess, constipation or sleepiness - all
of which are side effects of narcotic painkillers.
