Measure
2 Percent Lidocaine With Epinephrine and Epidural Morphine
2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine and epidural morphine: Epidurals will be dosed with 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine to T4 level in 5ml increments, epidural morphine 3mg will be given after delivery of neonate. T4 level maintained throughout cesarean delivery with additional epidural doses of 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine for both groups. Post-operative orders of scheduled acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and oxycodone as needed will be written.
3 Percent 2-Chloroprocaine and Epidural Morphine
3% 2-chloroprocaine and epidural morphine: Epidurals will be dosed with 3% 2-chloroprocaine to T4 level in 5ml increments, epidural morphine 3mg will be given after delivery of neonate. T4 level maintained throughout cesarean delivery with additional epidural doses of 2% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine for both groups. This is the critical component to bridge the latency period between the offset of 3% 2-chloroprocaine and the peak action of epidural morphine.Post-operative orders of scheduled acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and oxycodone as needed will be written.
