Physiochemical property of opioids and spinal analgesia
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been more than two decades since neuraxial opioids first underwent rigorous clinical study for use in humans. The intraspinal route of administration is now commonly used to administer anesthetics and analgesics. Addition of opioids to intraspinal administered local anesthetic provides an effective and prolonged analgesia. However, the physiochemical properties of opioids may influence the onset and duration of opioid analgesia.

Intrathecal opioids plus bupivacaine: an option to prolong analgesic efficacy when using the combined spinal-epidural technique--a case report.
Providing analgesia in the latent phase of labor can be challenging. Many obstetricians and nurse midwives believe that epidural analgesia initiated too early in the course of labor can prolong labor and result in fetal malpresentation, thus increasing the need for instrumentation. Many practitioners therefore use the combined spinal-epidural technique with intrathecal opioids during the early ...
متن کاملSpinal opioid bioavailability in postoperative pain.
Opioids have been used for spinal analgesia for more than a century, and their injection epidurally and intrathecally has a key role in the control of postoperative pain. Since the discovery of the endogenous opioid system, 3 decades ago, their use has become more generalized in obstetric analgesia, the management of chronic pain, and acute postoperative pain. To use opioids effectively for thi...

The addition of opioids to local anesthetics improves the analgesic potency of spinal analgesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal fentanyl 15 microg when added to lidocaine 80 mg in patients undergoing Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Forty healthy parturients scheduled for elective Cesarean section using 80 mg of 5% lidocaine were random...
متن کاملA Clinical Approach to Neuraxial Morphine for the Treatment of Postoperative Pain
Opioids are considered a "gold standard" in clinical practice for the treatment of postoperative pain. The spinal administration of an opioid drug does not guarantee selective action and segmental analgesia in the spine. Evidence from experimental studies in animals indicates that bioavailability in the spinal cord biophase is negatively correlated with liposolubility, and is higher for hydroph...
