Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Can epidural nalbuphine reduce incidence or severity of epidural morphine induced pruritus in patient undergoing cesarean section?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

182 parturients,ASA 1-2 undergoing cesarean section under epidural block were enrolled in the study. After obtaining informed consent,all received epidural anesthesia using 2% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:200000 via epidural cathetes at L2-3 or L3-4 in a volume suffient to achieve a T4 sensory level bilaterally.

After the umbilical cord was clamped,patients were assigned randomly to three groups.The placebo group,N-5 group,and N-10 group received 4 ml epidural solution containing morphine 4 mg plus either saline, nalbuphine 5 mg, and nalbuphine 10 mg respectively.At the post anesthetic care unit, intravenous pethidine PCA were administered for inadequate pain control.

Outcome measures :

Incidence and severity of postoperative pruritus Quality of pain control Side effects of epidural morphine and nalbuphine such as respiratory depression,sedation
