NCT03386630

Brief Summary

Two approved treatments for spinal anesthesia will be compared in women undergoing cesarean section. It is usual to perform cesarean sections using spinal anesthesia with a local anesthetic (bupivacaine) plus some opioid, such as sufentanil or morphine. Both have been shown to decrease postoperative pain, but we try to check if one brings more benefit than the other.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the time it takes the patients administer a first analgesic bolus of morphine intravenous personally after subarachnoid anesthesia in elective cesarean section.

    To evaluate in spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean section what association of hyperbaric bupivacaine plus opioid: sufentanil or morphine, produces a longer time for the patient to administer a first analgesic bolus of intravenous morphine.

    3 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Lower intravenous morphine consumption

    24 hours after surgery

  • Levels of minor pain verbal scales

    At 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery

  • Beginning of sitting and standing

    At 48 hours after surgery

  • Mother´s side effects with respect to hemodynamic alteration, nausea, vomits, pruritus, tremor, urinary retention, sedation, respiratory depression, headaches, motor deficits, permanent sensory or autonomic deficits.

    At intraoperative

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Values in the Apgar test

    At 1 and 5 minutes after birth
