NCT05696678

Brief Summary

The purpose of this prospective randomized double-blinded and controlled study is to evaluate the quality of recovery after elective cesarean delivery using the Obstetric Quality-of-Recovery-11 (ObsQoR-11) score at 24 hours between patients receiving intrathecal morphine (ITM group) compared to patients receiving a ropivacaine continuous wound infusion (CWI group).

Study Arms (2)

Intrathecal Morphine (Control Group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Spinal anesthesia with intrathecal morphine and postoperative continuous wound infusion with sterile saline.

Drug: Intrathecal Morphine

Continuous Wound Infusion (Intervention Group)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Spinal anesthesia without intrathecal morphine and postoperative continuous wound infusion with ropivacaine.

Drug: Ropivacaine 0.2%

Interventions

Patient will receive a spinal anesthesia with a dose of 10.5 mg of bupivacaine 0.75% (1.4 ml),10 mcg of fentanyl (0.2 ml) and 100 mcg of morphine (0.2 ml) for cesarean delivery. At the end of surgery, at wound closure, a 19 Gauge 150 mm catheter will be placed under the fascia and will be linked to an elastometric pump filled with sterile saline (600 ml). A bolus of 20 ml will be administered, and an 8 ml/h infusion will be started. The catheter will be removed at 72 hours.

Intrathecal Morphine (Control Group)

Patient will receive a spinal anesthesia with a dose of 10.5 mg of bupivacaine 0.75% (1.4 ml),10 mcg of fentanyl (0.2 ml) and 100 mcg of morphine (0.2 ml) for cesarean delivery. At the end of surgery, at wound closure, a 19 Gauge 150 mm catheter will be placed under the fascia and will be linked to an elastometric pump filled with sterile saline (600 ml). A bolus of 20 ml will be administered, and an 8 ml/h infusion will be started. The catheter will be removed at 72 hours.
