Eighty women receiving spinal anesthesia for postpartum tubal ligation were entered into a double-blind, randomized protocol studying the effects of epinephrine on intrathecal fentanyl-induced postoperative analgesia. All patients received 70 mg hyperbaric lidocaine with either 0.2 mg epinephrine (LE), 10 micrograms fentanyl (LF), epinephrine and fentanyl (LFE), or 0.4 ml saline (L). Onset and regression of anesthesia, degree of intraoperative comfort, incidence of pruritus, and extent of postoperative analgesia were evaluated. The simultaneous administration of epinephrine and fentanyl prolonged the duration of complete analgesia (137 +/- 47 min (LFE); 76 +/- 32 min (LE); 85 +/- 44 min (LF); 65 +/- 36 min (L)) and the duration of effective analgesia (562 +/- 504 min (LFE); 227 +/- 201 min (LE); 203 +/- 178 min (LF); 198 +/- 342 min (L)). Administration of epinephrine decreased the incidence of pruritus associated with intrathecal fentanyl (1/18 (LFE); 1/21 (LE); 8/19 (LF); 2/19 (L)).

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
