Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this two-part prospective observational and blinded trial was to determine whether the single nucleotide polymorphism of the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1:c.304A>G) modifies (1) the duration of intrathecal fentanyl labor analgesia and (2) supplemental analgesic requirements after intrathecal morphine analgesia following cesarean delivery. METHODS: Labor analgesia was initiated with...
