Brief Summary

To demonstrate the superiority of square lumbar block to ropivacaine compared to intrathecal morphine in the efficacy of postoperative analgesia following scheduled caesarean.

Detailed Description

Interventional, comparative, randomized, controlled study versus reference therapeutic strategy, in 2 parallel groups, double-blind (patient and evaluator), single-center, aiming to demonstrate the superiority of ropivacaine in square lumbar block versus intrathecal morphine, on the efficacy of post-operative analgesia, following a scheduled caesarean.
