Summary
Neuraxial narcotics are commonly used in obstetric patients for cesarean delivery to help
with pain control over the first 24 hours after the surgery. The aim is to evaluate
effectiveness of promethazine (IMP) treatment of intrathecal morphine induced pruritus
(ITIMIP). A treatment for ITMIP, other than naloxone, will allow for increased use of
intrathecal narcotics and decrease the use of systemic opioids in the initial post-operative
period.
