Incidence of Post-Dural Puncture Headache Following Unintentional Dural Puncture: A Randomized Trial of Intrathecal Morphine Versus Saline
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Morphine and Saline for Postdural Puncture Headache and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 68 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of intrathecal morphine administration following an unintentional dural puncture, to decrease the incidence of post dural puncture headaches (PDPH) in obstetric patients.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The drug will be prepared in tuberculin syringes. After thoroughly sanitizing the catheter port with a Chloroprep wipe and allowing adequate time for drying of the Chloroprep, the anesthesiologist will first attach a 3-mL syringe to the catheter port and aspirate to a volume of 1 mL. This syringe will then be removed from the port. The study drug will then be administered through the intrathecal catheter via the tuberculin syringe. The 3-mL syringe containing the aspirate will then be injected via the catheter, effectively flushing the study drug through the catheter. The intrathecal catheter will be removed immediately following the injection.
