简要总结
In the United States the incidence of cesarean deliveries have increased over the last several decades and is currently approximately 30% nationwide. The anesthesia and analgesia for elective c-sections vary between institutions.
Parturients present a unique challenge for the anesthesiologist as the mother has to care not only for herself, but also for the newborn postpartum. While intrathecal opioids provide adequate pain relief, they do so at the cost of bothersome side effects for patients, such as pruritus and nausea/vomiting.
Intrathecal hydromorphone has started to be explored as a new option for intrathecal analgesia. A study done by Beatty et al. showed in a retrospective review that 40 mcg of intrathecal dilaudid was safe and effective as compared to intrathecal morphine for analgesia after cesarean delivery. Additionally they showed no difference in side effect profiles of the two medications. Mhyre et al. investigated the use of 100 mcg of intrathecal dilaudid with hyperbaric bupivacaine in varying dosages for labor analgesia. The results were inconclusive, but the dosage of hydromorphone was reported to be without adverse effects.
Virginia Commonwealth University Health Systems has successfully instituted the use of intrathecal morphine with superior analgesia but with undesired side effects, most notably pruritus. Recent drug shortages of duramorph have prompted investigators to seek alternative options for post cesarean section analgesia. The investigators are interested in determining the dose, efficacy, and side effect profile of intrathecal hydromorphone. Although our institution has never utilized intrathecal hydromorphone for our patient population, it has been studied at various other institutions where it has been found to be safe and efficacious with an acceptable side effect profile.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intrathecal Dilaudid
This will be a prospective up/down dosage study. After obtaining informed consent, eligible participants will be part of an up/down dose titration study. This first phase of our study will be conducted using intrathecal (spinal) hydromorphone to determine an appropriate dose range for our study population. Study drug dose will initially be 40 mcg. The only deviation from the current standard of care will be that patients will be given hydromorphone intrathecally instead of morphine. The rest of the care provided will be standard of care and per current practices at VCU labor and delivery floor.
