PY - 2023 T2 - Obstetric Anesthesia: Quick References & Practical Guides AB - Neuraxial morphine is the most common long-acting opioid for prolonged analgesia after a cesarean delivery.1 However, it is associated with pruritus and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).1,2 Both of these side effects are common after neuraxial morphine, and the side effects are more common with intrathecal doses greater than 150 µg. Few parturients experience a severe form of pruritus, PONV or both, and would rather experience pain than pruritus and/or PONV; thus, it is important to treat both in a timely manner.
