Intrathecal Morphine for Postoperative Analgesia in Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blinded Clinical Trial
VATS is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic conditions. Despite many benefits, postoperative pain continues to be intense after VATS. The optimal strategy for pain management has not been defined. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical investigation, investigators hypothesize that 5 mcg/kg intrathecal morphine will decrease postoperative analgesic consumption and reduce pain.
