| Abstract | The introduction of intraspinal opioids is one of the most important break-throughs in pain management in the last two decades. Profound antinocieption is optained with dose much smaller than would be required if administered systemically. However the four classisc side effects are pruitus, nausea and vomiting, urinary retention and respiratory depression may occur. Most side effects are dose-dependent and may be morecommon if the opioid is administered intrathecally. Side effects are less common in patients chronically exposed to opids. Some side effects are madiated via interaction with specific opioid receptors while others are not. |
