The inhibition of epidural morphine-induced pruritus by epidural droperidol.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:IV droperidol inhibits epidural morphine-induced pruritus, but this effect disappears when the dose is increased from 2.5 to 5.0 mg. This study was performed to determine whether epidural droperidol would have a similar effect. In this double-blinded study, we enrolled 140 patients undergoing Cesarean delivery under epidural anesthesia who were randomly allocated to four groups. Anesthesia consisted of 150 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine, with 2 mg of morphine and 0.0, 1.25, 2.5, or 5.0 mg of droperidol (Groups 1 to 4). During the postoperative period, patients were assessed for pruritus (absent, mild, moderate, or severe) and other untoward symptoms. The chi(2) test was used to compare the incidence of the side effects. For the analysis of pruritus, we used the Mantel-Haenszel test for linear association. Droperidol induced a dose-related reduction in the incidence of pruritus (P < 0.001). This reduction was independent of the incidence of somnolence, which increased with droperidol dose (P < 0.05 when the incidence of somnolence in Groups 1 and 4 was compared). We conclude that droperidol, in doses up to 5 mg epidurally, induces a dose-related reduction in the incidence of pruritus without inducing significant side effects. IMPLICATIONS:Epidural morphine is effective for pain control but yields some side effects, including pruritus, that can be severe. Studying patients undergoing Cesarean delivery, we found a dose-related reduction in the incidence of pruritus using epidural droperidol.
