Postoperative Analgesic Effect of Esketamine
Summary
The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of esketamine to morphine would improve postoperative analgesia after caesarean section. Parturients who planned for a caesarean delivery using combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia with a request for postoperative anaesthesia were randomly divided into four groups (A, B, C and D). When the surgery was completed, the parturients in groups A, B, C and D were administered 2 mg morphine, 0.25mg/kg of esketamine, 0.25mg/kg of esketamine plus 2 mg morphine sulfate and 0.25mg/kg of esketamine plus 1 mg morphine through the epidural catheters, respectively. The postoperative pain at rest, pain with movement, the number of rescue analgesics and adverse effects were evaluated for 48 h after caesarean delivery.
