    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pain Management
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Postoperative pain management is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Epidural analgesia is a common method for pain control.
    • Morphine sulfate is frequently used in epidural formulations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of epidural analgesia with morphine sulfate.
    • To identify common causes of treatment failure.
    • To document prevalent side effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Epidural administration of morphine sulfate to 130 patients.
    • Assessment of pain relief in 96 postoperative patients and 34 non-operated patients.
    • Documentation of side effects and reasons for treatment failure.

    Main Results:

    • Good analgesia was achieved in 74 of 96 postoperative patients and 30 of 34 non-operated patients.
    • Common causes of failure included incorrect catheter placement.
    • Principal side effects were urinary difficulties and pruritus. One patient experienced altered consciousness, and another had hypotension.

    Conclusions:

    • Epidural morphine sulfate is effective for pain relief in many patients.
    • Proper epidural catheter placement is essential for successful analgesia.
    • Monitoring for side effects such as urinary issues, pruritus, and neurological changes is important.
