Abstract
In our study, 54 patients were scheduled for elective abdominal surgery and were allocated in two equal groups, 27 patients in each. Morphine group MG, 5mg morphine were given epidurally. Morphine haloperidol group MHG, 5 mg morphine plus 2.5 mg haloperidol given epidurally.
The study was toevaluate of the effect of haloperidol on the incidence, and severity of pruritus, nausea, and vomiting caused by epidural morphine, besides evaluating its effect on morphine analgesia, retention and sedation.
Analysis of the patient parameters included in our study revealed that, the goal of the study was achieved in morphine haloperidol group MHG.
The study evidenced several issues: good analgesia and subsequent decrease in analgesic consumption, reduction in the incidence and severity of priritis, nusea and vomiting. No cardiac or central nervous system side effects.
Conclusion
This study evidences several issues:
1. Good postoperative analgesia and decreased analgesic consumption.
2. Reduced incidence and severity of pruritis associated with epidural morphine.
3. Reduced incidence and severity of nusea and vomiting associated with epidural morphine.
So, this study concluded that, adding haloperidol to epidural morphine- when certain safety measures are taken- is a safe, feasible and helpful technique for postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing abdominal sugeries.
