Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the safety and stability of high concentrations of bupivacaine combined with opioids for intrathecal use in patients with inadequate pain management.
- Twelve outpatients were involved, receiving increasing doses of bupivacaine while maintaining their opioid regimen; stability tests indicated over 96% of the drug concentrations remained intact.
- While no permanent neurological issues were observed, some patients experienced temporary motor weakness, highlighting the need for caution with long-term use of high concentration local anesthetics.
