Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Intrathecal opioid for post-cesarean analgesia has been recommended because of its efficacy and possibility to early postoperative ambulation. Morphine. water-soluble strong opioid, provides extended analgesia after intrathecal administration and is used in many clinical situations. However, intrathecal morphine causes pruritus and this complication make sometimes the post-cesarean patients mothering difficult. On the other hand, the efficacy of acupuncture fore reducing postoperative pruritus after general surgery has been reported.
The purpose of this study is elucidate the efficacy of acupuncture for reducing post-cesarean pruritus administrated morphine intrathecally.

Baseline Characteristics

The present trial included 30 parturients aged 18-50 years with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II who were scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia (SA) or combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) at term (> 37 weeks gestation) from October 2015 to March 2016. The trial was conducted at the Saitama Medical Center, Kawagoe, Japan, which is a tertiary perinatal center. Exclusion criteria were: hypertensive disorders, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, coagulopathies, severe fetal anomalies, skin diseases, pruritus during pregnancy, participation refusal, and the performance of the cesarean section at a time when the acupuncturists were unavailable.

Participant flow

Patients were fasted for at least 8 hours before arrival at the operating room. Standard monitoring was performed, including non-invasive blood pressure measurement, electrocardiography, and pulse oximetry. An anesthesiologist inserted a 20 G or 18 G intravenous cannula into a forearm vein, and then administered 10 mg of metoclopramide intravenously. Co-hydration with 0.5-1 L of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in isotonic saline was administered until delivery. The method of anesthesia (SA or CSEA) was selected at the discretion of the anesthesiologist based on the expected duration of surgery. With the patient in the right lateral decubitus position, neuraxial anesthesia was performed at the L2/3 or L3/4 interspace using a 25 G or 27 G Whitacre spinal needle with an introducer (Unisis Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) for SA, or an 18 G Touhy needle with a 27 G Whitacre spinal needle (CSEcure, Smith Medical Japan, Tokyo, Japan) for CSEA. Both types of anesthesia were induced by intrathecal administration of hyperbaric bupivacaine (12 mg), fentanyl (10 mcg), and preservative-free morphine (150 mcg). In CSEA, the epidural catheter was advanced 3-5 cm in the cephalad direction and fixed without a test dose. Left uterine displacement was continued from induction of anesthesia to delivery of the neonate, and supplemental oxygen was only administered when SpO2 was < 95%. Blood pressure was measured every minute until delivery, and a vasopressor was administered when the mean arterial pressure fell below 70 mmHg or systolic blood pressure fell below 100 mmHg15. Vasopressor selection was dependent on maternal heart rate; phenylephrine (100 mcg) was administered as an intravenous bolus if the maternal heart rate was equal to or greater than 60 bpm, while ephedrine (5 mg) was administered if the maternal heart rate was less than 60 bpm. Vasopressor administration was repeated as needed to restore blood pressure. After the delivery of the neonate, a blinded obstetrician obtained umbilical arterial blood by the double-clamp method after blood gas analysis, and a blinded neonatologist assessed the Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was the occurrence of pruritus within 24 hours postoperatively.
