A member asked:
Is it safe use only opioid for sub arachnoid block agent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal opioid: We use opioids in the epidural or the spinal space (sub arachnoid space) for acute pain management to help patients recover from post surgical pain and for chronic pain. It has side effects like slowing breathing and causing itching, but it is safe if you are monitored properly. It offers the benefit of great pain control. Good luck.
