Comparative Study[Postoperative peridural analgesia with morphine, fentanyl and dipidolor].
The experience with peridural analgesia used in the postoperative period in 183 patients has shown advantages of morphine, phentanyl and dipydolor over routine methods of analgesia. The peridural injection of the drugs mentioned has been shown to give a longer analgetic effect than local anesthetics, to facilitate stabilization of hemodynamics in the postoperative period.

Epidural morphine infusion. Continuous pain relief.
Epidural morphine infusion is an effective and relatively safe route for postoperative analgesia. Lanz , Theiss , Reiss , and Sommer performed research supporting the use of epidural morphine. Following lumbar epidural anesthesia for orthopedic operations, 174 patients underwent the following study. ⋯ Sympathetic block was only partial; patients still noticed pressure due to a dressing or cast. There was no motor blockade and active mobilization occurred earlier. Following epidural morphine, alertness was heightened, patients were more cooperative, and respiratory depression and postoperative pneumonia were less than after systemic administration of narcotics.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
