PG - 825-834 LID - 10.1007/s12630-021-01937-z [doi] AB - PURPOSE: There is some evidence for the use of intrathecal morphine as a means to provide prolonged analgesia in selective cardiac surgical patients; however, the hemodynamic effects of intrathecal morphine are not well defined. This study was designed to study the effect of intrathecal morphine on hemodynamic parameters in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS: In a prospective, double-blind study, 100 adult cardiac surgical patients were randomized to receive either intrathecal 40 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine alone (intrathecal bupivacaine [ITB] group, n = 50) or intrathecal 250 microg of morphine added to 40 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine (intrathecal bupivacaine and morphine [ITBM] group, n = 50). Hemodynamic data, pain scores, rescue analgesic use, spirometry, and vasopressor use were recorded every four hours after surgery for 48 hr. The primary outcome was the incidence of vasoplegia in each group, which was defined as a cardiac index > 2.2 L.min(-1).m(-2) with the requirement of vasopressors to maintain the mean arterial pressure > 60 mmHg with the hemodynamic episode lasting > four hours. RESULTS: Eighty-seven patients were analyzed (ITB group, n = 42, and ITBM group, n =45). The incidence of vasoplegia was higher in the ITBM group than in the ITB group [14 (31%) vs 5 (12%), respectively; relative risk, 2.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0 to 6.6; P = 0.04]. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) duration of vasoplegia was significantly longer in the ITBM group than in the ITB group [8.9 (3.0) hr vs 4.3 (0.4) hr, respectively; difference in means, 4.6; 95% CI, 3.7 to 5.5; P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION: Intrathecal morphine added to bupivacaine for high spinal anesthesia increases the incidence and duration of vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients.
