• Bupivacaine is combined with intrathecal morphine specifically to address the perioperative acute pain gap created by morphine's delayed peak effect. — Effect of bupivacaine combined with morphine intrathecal injection on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery: a study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, controlled trial
• Bupivacaine spinal anaesthesia typically lasts no more than 150 minutes, so sensory or motor dysfunction persisting beyond 3 hours after surgery is classified as an adverse effect. — Effect of bupivacaine combined with morphine intrathecal injection on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery: a study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, controlled trial
• Bupivacaine may alter intraoperative analgesic requirements, creating a potential blinding weakness for the general anaesthesia provider. — Effect of bupivacaine combined with morphine intrathecal injection on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery: a study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, controlled trial
