AbstractThe present report deals with 20 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, in whom a postoperative antalgic regimen has been administered on demand by means of morphine via lumbar peridural catheter. We injected 3 mg as the first dose after surgery and subsequent 2 mg doses when required. In each patient we controlled regularly for 72 hours the following: respiratory function, antalgic effects and side effects. We concluded that this technique is fit to obtain good analgesia with rare and mild side-effects.
