Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of intrathecal morphine administration in managing labor pain. The research was conducted on 12 multiparous women without systemic disorders. Findings demonstrate that morphine provides substantial analgesic effect without impairing uterine contractions or neonatal vital parameters. However, common maternal side effects—including dizziness, somnolence, nausea, and pruritus—were observed. Considering the severity and duration of these effects, the routine use of intrathecal morphine for obstetric analgesia may present significant risks.

Effects of Intrathecal Morphine Administration on Labor Analgesia: Clinical Observations and Evaluation

Abstract

Bu çalışma, doğum sırasında ağrının giderilmesine yönelik olarak intratekal morfin uygulamasının etkinliğini değerlendirmektedir. Araştırma, sistemik hastalığı olmayan 12 multipar gebe üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, morfinin doğum ağrısı üzerinde güçlü analjezik etki sağladığını; doğum sürecinde uterus kontraksiyonlarının olumsuz etkilenmediğini ve bebeklerin vital bulgularının normal kaldığını göstermektedir. Ancak annelerde baş dönmesi, uykuya eğilim, bulantı ve kaşıntı gibi yan etkiler yaygın şekilde gözlemlenmiştir. Yan etkilerin şiddeti ve süresi dikkate alındığında, intratekal morfinin doğum analjezisi için rutin kullanımı sakıncalar taşıyabilir.
