Spinal Hydromorphone Versus Morphine for Post-Cesarean Delivery Analgesia: A Non-Inferiority Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Spinal Hydromorphone and Spinal Morphine for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 126 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Morphine is usually used for pain relief after cesarean delivery. However, sometimes it is not available, the patient might be allergic to morphine or intolerant to its side effects. Hydromorphone, another drug from the same class, might be used alternatively, but we need to prove that it is not inferior to morphine.

Interventions
75 mcg of hydromorphone will be prepared in a non-identifiable syringe by central hospital pharmacy. The resulting solution will then be added to the spinal anesthetic mixture(fentanyl 15 mcg and 0.75% hyperbaric bupivacaine 1.4-1.6 mcg at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist, adjusted to height and weight)
