ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the efficacy and safety of intrathecal morphine (ITM) for postoperative analgesia in primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) under spinal anesthesia and to explore the dose-response relationship for analgesic efficacy or risk of side effects.

METHODS:

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov for any studies meeting the inclusion criteria. All the data were summarized using the random effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the surgical procedure and dose of ITM. Meta-regression was used to explore the dose-response relationship.

RESULTS:

Eighteen randomized controlled trials were included. Compared with the placebo or blank control, ITM reduced the postoperative 24-h morphine consumption by 10.07 mg and prolonged the duration of analgesia. However, ITM significantly increased the risk of pruritus by 2.79 fold, with a tendency to increase the risk of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (P = 0.08). No difference was observed regarding the length of stay (LOS) and incidence of respiratory depression or urinary retention. Furthermore, meta-regression showed a linear dose-response relationship for the postoperative 24-h morphine consumption but no linear dose-response relationship for the risk of side effects.

CONCLUSIONS:

Adding morphine to intrathecal anesthetics provides a prolonged and robust analgesic effect without significantly increasing the risk of side effects other than pruritus. Although we found a linear dose-response relationship for the postoperative 24-h morphine consumption, the optimal dose of ITM remains to be further explored in high-quality RCTs with a large sample size.
