Morphine Postoperative Analgesia and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modeling

The currently available data are insufficient to develop a model that achieves optimum morphine dose individualization at the postoperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Therefore, the objective of the study was to apply a PK/PD model that could justify morphine consumption, drug plasma concentration and pain intensity during the postoperative period after CABG and evaluate the post operative pain.

About this study

The protocol was a prospective, open-label study, approved by the institutional ethical committee of the hospital where the study was performed. Patients were randomly assigned to receive general anesthesia plus intrathecal morphine at a dosage of 400 mcg (morphine group) or general anesthesia alone (control group) according to a simple computer-generated list.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative pain

    Time frame: two days

    From the end of surgery until 36 hours of postoperative period

  2. PK/PD modelling

    Time frame: 2 days

    From the begin of surgery until 36 hours of postoperative period

Secondary outcomes

  1. PK parameter: Cmax (peak plasma concentration)

    Time frame: 2 days

    from the begin of surgery until 36 hours of postoperative period

  2. PK parameter: Tmax (time to achieve the maximum concentration)

    Time frame: 2 days

    from the begin of surgery until 36 hours of postoperative period

  3. PK parameter: AUC (area under the plasma cocentration versus time curve)

    Time frame: 2 days

    from the begin of surgery until 36 hours of postoperative period
