Official title:
Intrathecal Hydromorphone for Post-cesarean Delivery Pain - a Dose Finding Study
Pain relief after cesarean delivery can be provided in a few ways. Most commonly, certain
medications called opioids, such as morphine, are given through the vein or into the muscle.
However, a more effective way to give pain relief with fewer side effects (such as nausea
and slowing your breathing) is to give opioids in the spinal space as part of the
medications given for a cesarean delivery.
For many years, the opioid of choice was morphine due to its long anesthetic effect and
acceptable side effect profile. A nation-wide disruption in the supply of preservative-free
morphine has made it necessary to look for alternatives. Many institutions worldwide have
used another opioid, called hydromorphone, in the spinal space for over a decade. This drug
has a very good safety and side effect profile and has been used at our institution for more
than a year. Of interest, while a number of different doses of hydromorphone have been used,
there have been very few studies to evaluate the best dose for providing good pain relief
with minimal side effects. The goal of this study is to find the best dose of spinal
hydromorphone for women undergoing cesarean delivery.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | 24hr post-partum IV opioid requirement | Intrathecal (IT) hydromorphone added to intrathecally administered local anesthetics for spinal anesthesia increases patient comfort by decreasing post-operative pain. This leads to a decrease in the post-operative intravenous hydromorphone requirements. | 24hrs after administration of intrathecal hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Oxygen saturation, need for supplemental oxygen | Intravenously, and to a lesser extent, intrathecally administered opioids can lead to respiratory depressions. Therefore the subjects' oxygen saturation is measured (standard clinical practice). | 24hrs post administration of IT hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Nausea and vomiting requiring rescue medication | IV and IT opioids can induce nausea and vomiting | 24hrs post administration of IT hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Hypothermia (body temperature < 95F/35C) | intrathecally administered opioids can cause hypothermia | 24hrs post administration of IT hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Visual disturbances | IT/IV opioids can create visual disturbances | 24hrs post administration of IT hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Pruritus | IT opioids can cause pruritus. Persistent pruritus requiring treatment will be recorded. | 24hrs post administration of IT hydromorphone | No |
Secondary | Intraoperative vasopressor use | IT applied local anesthetics and opioids can cause arterial and venous vasodilation leading to a decrease in afterload as well as preload. This is typically treated with volume replacement and vasopressors (acutely). The total intraoperative vasopressor use will be correlated with the IT hydromorphone dose. | Intraoperatively | No |
