    AbstractThree solutions administered by continuous extradural infusion for postoperative analgesia were compared in a randomized, double-blind manner. All patients underwent major abdominal gynaecological surgery and received 0.125% bupivacaine in 0.9% saline, diamorphine in 0.9% saline (0.5 mg in 15 ml) or diamorphine mixed with 0.125% bupivacaine (0.5 mg in 15 ml), at a rate of 15 ml h-1. The bupivacaine-diamorphine mixture provided significantly superior analgesia compared with either bupivacaine or diamorphine alone. No major side effects were encountered.
