Morphine may be given epidurally at 10% and intrathecally at 1% of the parenteral dose. Pharmacokinetics. Morphine is extensively metabolised by the gut wall
Intravenous or oral doses of maternal morphine in the immediate postpartum period result in higher milk levels than with epidural morphine.
The CSF levels of morphine exceed those in plasma after only 15 minutes and are detectable for as long as 20 hours after the injection of 2 mg of epidural morphine. Approximately 4% of the dose injected epidurally reaches the CSF. This corresponds to the relative minimum effective epidural and intrathecal doses of 5 mg and 0.25 mg, respectively.
Intravenous or oral doses of maternal morphine in the immediate postpartum period result in higher milk levels than with epidural morphine.
If you have a cesarean section under an epidural or spinal anaesthesia, your anasthetist will give you a small dose of morphine (epimorph) through the epidural
Although epidural opioid analgesia after cesarean section can provide excellent postoperative pain relief, serious complications may occur after epidural morphine. Therefore, we performed this study to compare the efficacy and side effects of three different doses of epidural morphine for analgesia
