Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Spinal anesthesia and morphine analgesia in prostatic surgery].
The authors compare the effects of either 0,5 or one milligram of intrathecally injected morphine on the post-operative course of 45 patients scheduled for transvesical prostatectomy. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups. Group A patients served as reference and were anesthetized by intrathecal injection of prilocaine 100 mg. ⋯ Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant difference of analgesia scores between groups C and B. The group C patients remained free of respiratory impairment. One mg of intrathecal morphine seems optimal for analgesia after prostatectomy.
