Does large-dose intrathecal morphine reduce postoperative analgesic requirements and blood catecholamine levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?
Large-dose intrathecal morphine provides reliable postoperative analgesia after cardiac surgery but does not significantly attenuate the catecholamine stress response.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reduces postoperative opioid needs after CABG; confirms opioid-sparing analgesia without catecholamine attenuation.
