Abstract

Abstract: Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital services a large number of orthopedic patients each year. Postoperative pain after orthopedic surgery is common but not well addressed. The study was designed to determine the analgesic effect and the incidence of complications of intrathecal morphine injection in orthopedics surgery of lower extremities. One hundred and twenty four patients were recorded. The complications were itching (60.5%), urinary retention (35.8%), nausea-vomiting (26.6%), drowsiness (1.6%). No respiratory suppression was found. During the first 24 hours after the operation, 78.3% of the patients did not need analgesic injection. On the average, the onset of analgesic injection requirement was 9.7 hours.
