Brief summary

The primary endpoint of this study is to investigate the effect of adding nalbuphine to intrathecal morphine on quality of postoperative analgesia and Morphine related side effects post- cesarean delivery.

Detailed description

The study will be performed in Assiut University Hospitals, after obtaining approval from the local ethics committee and written informed patient consent. All patients will have a peripheral IV cannula 18 G inserted; standard non-invasive monitors will be applied. All the patients will be preloaded with 10 ml/kg Ringer's lactate solution intravenous. Intrathecal block under strict aseptic conditions will be performed in sitting position at L3-4 or L4-5 inter-spinous space with 25G pencil-point spinal needle. All patients will receive intrathecal 10 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine.

Interventions

DRUGMorphine

38 patients of this group will receive 10 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (Buvanest Spinal 0.5% Heavy) with 0.2 mg morphine (Infumorph - Injection 10 mg/mL) in 0.5 ml volume (total volume 2.5 mL). Patients will be preloaded with 10 ml/kg Ringer's lactate solution intravenous.

DRUGMorphine plus Nalbuphine

39 patients of this group will receive 10 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (Buvanest Spinal 0.5% Heavy) with 0.5 mg morphine (Infumorph - Injection 10 mg/mL) plus 0.2 mg nalbuphine (NALUFIN 20MG/ML AMP) in 0.5 ml volume (total volume 2.5 mL). Patients will be preloaded with 10 ml/kg Ringer's lactate solution intravenous.
