A Comparison of Three Methods of Pain Control for Posterior Spinal Fusions in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Spine, 06/16/09
Milbrandt TA et al. - An EPI controls postoperative pain for the longest period of time and allows for a quicker return to consumption of solid foods. However, a single preoperative intrathecal morphine injection controls the pain equally for the first 24 hours with less pruritis and with less adverse events thus requiring less nursing and physician intervention after PSF and SSI in AIS. All methods were safe with no neurologic injury recorded.
