Anybody out there used IT morphine for analgesia post spinal surgery?
Epidural LA depot flooded in by surgeons can be useful and is used with varying deliberacy in some UK centres. I know of some teams who close leaving an epidural catheter in, then bolus LA down catheter and immediately remove.

#Ansky: who here is doing intrathecal morphine instead of thoracic epidurals for post op pain management? The Spring ASRA meeting had a compelling lecture on how many institutions are abandoning thoracic epidural analgesia in favor of ITM. @ropivacaine.bsky.social @dr-rajgupta.bsky.social
