Résumé
Pre-incision intrathecal morphine (IM) is a popular adjunct in adolescent idiopathic spinal deformity surgery. This study represents our 25-year experience with IM in all diagnostic groups undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) and segmental instrumentation (SI). Our prospective Pediatric Orthopaedic Spine Database (1992-2018) identified all patients undergoing PSF and SI. We included patients 21 years of age or less, had a PSF with SSI, and received the recommended IM dose of 9-19 mcg/kg (up to 1 mg) or no IM. We assessed demographics, pain scores, duration of surgery, time to first dose of narcotics, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, length of hospital stay, and IM complications (respiratory depression, pruritus, nausea/vomiting). There were 984 patients who met inclusion criteria: 760 patients received IM, 224 did not (non-IM). They were divided into 5 diagnostic groups: idiopathic, neuromuscular, syndromic, and congenital scoliosis and kyphosis. The mean first post-operative opioid following IM administration was at 16.1 h in the IM group compared to 8.7 h in the non-IM group (p = < 0.001). The post-operative pain scores in the IM groups were significantly lower (p = < 0.001). Sixteen patients (2%) in the IM group were admitted to the PICU for observation secondary to respiratory depression, none requiring re-intubation. There were no other complications related to IM. Pre-incision IM is a safe adjunct for pain management in select children in all diagnostic groups undergoing spinal deformity surgery. There were no serious complications. III.
