Postoperative Epidural Analgesia in Spine Fusion Surgery

April 24, 2013 updated by: Omnia Askar, Assiut University
we aim to compare the analgesic effect of 0.125% bupivacaine HCL, 0.125% bupivacaine HCL + Morphine sulphate 3 mg, 0.125% bupivacaine HCL + Fentanyl 100 micro gram both at rest and mobilization maneuvers.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of pain
Time Frame: first 3 postoperative days
• Pain will be assessed using the VAS ranging from "0" (no pain) to "10" (worst imaginable pain). Pain will be evaluated at rest, while coughing, and during mobilization. Maneuvers of particular clinical importance for postoperative mobilization (alone and with help) will be chosen: Turning in bed, standing in front of the bed and walking, and using the toilet without help. The time needed until the patient can first successfully perform these maneuvers will be documented.
first 3 postoperative days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
assessment of patients' satisfaction
Time Frame: First 3 postoperative days
verbal rating score will be used (4 = very satisfied, 3 = satisfied, 2 = neutral, 1 = dissatisfied, and 0 = very dissatisfied).
First 3 postoperative days

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
beta-endorphin
Time Frame: 1st postoperative day
3 serum samples for beta-endorphin will be taken 1st one preoperative base line , 2nd at VAS more than 3 at rest ,3rd when VAS less than 2 at rest
1st postoperative day
