Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.The case of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification scale I and II and that regional anesthesia is thought to be adaptated. 2.The case that a written agreement is provided about the participation in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: We excluded patients with contraindications for spinal or epidural anesthesia due to hemodynamic, infectious, hemostatic, neurological statuses, and medication use. In addition, we excluded cases of which we were unable to obtain informed consent such as extremely emergent caesarean sections and cases of which general anesthesia was selected for reasons such as urgency or prediction of massive hemorrhage.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of this study is postoperative pain as measured by NRS at 12 hours after intrathecal administration of morphine at rest and during mobilization

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are NRS and Bromage score at 4, 8, 24, 48 hours after intrathecal administration of morphine at rest and during mobilization, the number of patients who requested rescue analgesics, the number of requests for rescue analgesics per patient, the interval time before the first request of rescue analgesics, the incidence of delayed ambulation, and the incidence of requested treatment for pruritus and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during the first 24 hours after intrathecal administration of morphine.
