Summary
Two approved treatments for spinal anesthesia will be compared in women undergoing cesarean
section.
It is usual to perform cesarean sections using spinal anesthesia with a local anesthetic
(bupivacaine) plus some opioid, such as sufentanil or morphine. Both have been shown to
decrease postoperative pain, but we try to check if one brings more benefit than the other.
