Epidural morphine does not affect the duration of action of epidural 2-chloroprocaine following Caesarean section.
The effect of epidural morphine on the duration of action of epidural 2-chloroprocaine was studied in a double-blind fashion in 30 patients following elective Caesarean section. When compared to epidural saline controls (n = 15), patients (n = 15) who received epidural morphine (4.0-5.0 mg) did not experience a prolongation or reduction in the duration of the somatic or sympathetic nervous system blockades produced by epidural 2-chloroprocaine.
