Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Analgesia após cesarianas é importante, pois puérperas com dor têm dificuldade na movimentação, o que prejudica o aleitamento. Morfina intratecal proporciona analgesia adequada e duradoura após cesarianas. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a qualidade da analgesia proporcionada por duas doses de morfina intratecal e seus efeitos colaterais em pacientes submetidas à cesariana. MÉTODO: Participaram do estudo 123 gestantes, com idade gestacional superior a 38 semanas e plano de cesariana eletiva. As gestantes foram alocadas de maneira aleatória em dois grupos que receberam 50 ou 100 µg de morfina intratecal (Grupo 50/Grupo 100). Todas as pacientes foram anestesiadas com 12 mg de bupivacaína 0,5% hiperbárica via intratecal. As pacientes foram avaliadas entre a 9ª e a 11ª horas e entre a 22ª e a 24ª horas após o bloqueio, em relação à qualidade da analgesia, ao consumo de analgésico, aos efeitos colaterais e à principal causa de desconforto nas primeiras 24 horas após a cirurgia. RESULTADOS: Os grupos foram semelhantes em relação aos dados antropométricos e antecedente obstétrico. Não houve diferença estatística na intensidade dolorosa entre os grupos. Nos dois grupos a dor foi maior nas primeiras 12 horas após a anestesia (p < 0,001). O consumo de cloridrato de tramadol e o intervalo até a primeira dose foram semelhantes nos dois grupos. Prurido foi o efeito colateral mais frequente, com incidência estatisticamente maior no Grupo 100 (p = 0,026). CONCLUSÕES: Morfina intratecal em 50 µg tem a mesma qualidade de analgesia que 100 µg, com menor incidência de efeitos colaterais.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Analgesia after caesarean section is important because postpartum women with pain have difficulty in mobility, which undermines breastfeeding. Intrathecal morphine provides adequate and prolonged analgesia after cesarean. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of analgesia provided by two doses of intrathecal morphine and its side effects in patients undergoing cesarean section. METHOD: The study included 123 pregnant women with gestational age over 38 weeks and scheduled for cesarean section. The women were randomly allocated into two groups to receive either 50 or 100 µg of intrathecal morphine (Group 50/Group 100). All patients were intrathecally anesthetized with 12 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. Patients were assessed between the 9th and 11th hour and the 22nd and 24th hour after blockade for quality of analgesia, analgesic consumption, side effects, and main cause of discomfort in the first 24 hours after surgery. RESULTS: There was similarity between groups regarding anthropometric data and obstetric history. There was no statistical difference in pain intensity between groups. In both groups, pain was more intense in the first 12 hours after anesthesia (p < 0.001). Tramadol hydrochloride consumption and time to first dose were similar in both groups. Pruritus was the most common side effect, with statistically higher incidence in Group 100 (p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS: Intrathecal morphine 50 µg provides the same quality of analgesia as 100 µg, with a lower incidence of side effects.
