In-house classification of analgesic drugs representing epidural application and newer drugs, based on the Oxford table [37]. The factor indicates the multiplication factor for the administered dose. The sum of the calculated doses represents the total medication. For example: 800 mg ibuprofen factor 1 = 800 mg cumulative; paracetamol 1,000 mg (factor 2) + pethidine 50 mg (factor 4) = 800 + 2,000 + 200 = 3,000 mg cumulative
