Intrathecal adjuvants Dr. S. Parthasarathy MD., DA., DNB, MD (Acu), Dip. Diab. DCA, Dip. Software statistics PhD (physio), FICA

Usually local anesthetics Other than LA some other drug is added in less quantities Adjuvant

Why we should add ?? Latency i.e. time of onset of LA block Duration of analgesia i.e. duration of sensory and motor block Quality Less side effects Postoperatively Analgesic gap elevated Quality of analgesia i.e. patient satisfaction, care providers’ impression of pain relief Side effects i.e. reduction of untoward effects of LA drugs Also for chronic pain

Some adjuvants Morphine Diamorphine Opioids Midazolam Buprenorphine Pethidine Tramadol Fentanyl Pentazocine Sufentanil Others Opioids Midazolam Neostigmine Alpha agonist Epinephrine Ketamine Adenosine Somatostatins Ketoroloc magnesium

Opioids Intrathecal opioids bind to a family of G-protein-linked pre- and postsynaptic opioid receptors in Laminae I and II of the dorsal horn. Receptor activation leads to G-proteinmediated potassium channel opening (mu and delta) and calcium channel closure (kappa), with an overall reduction in intracellular calcium. Less glutamate

Increased CSF adenosine – may be one cause Intrathecal opioids Stimulates Dorsal horn opioid receptors G protein linked K + channel opening and Ca + channel closure Decreased glutamate and substance P from C fibres Decreased nociception Others Local anaes properties – pethidine , fentanyl Modify descending pathways Increased CSF adenosine – may be one cause

Chemistry High lipophilicity – more potent – less duration – less cephalic spread More hydrophilic – less potent – more duration – more cephalic spread Fentanyl Morphine

See that !! fentanyl is only four times more potent than morphine when administered intrathecally but 100 times more potent after systemic administration Cant equate !!

Cephalad spread 1. Bulk flow of drug in a caudal-cephalad direction. 2. Fluctuating pressure changes within the thorax as a result of respiration, facilitating cephalad flow of CSF. 3. Expansion and relaxation of the brain, occurring as a result of the cardiac cycle. This helps to create a backward and a forward motion of CSF with a net transfer of opioid in a cephalad direction

Morphine Octanol partition coefficient – 1.8 (lipophilicity) Less lipophilic More cephalad spread 100 microgram dose – usual Can go upto 0.3 mg , Or 10 - 20 mic. Kg Spinal, OBG , ortho , general surgeries Very effective analgesia – decreased VAS, decreased PCA etc..

Side effects sedation, sweating, delayed gastric emptying, urinary retention, pruritus, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression

Respiratory depression –( 0.3 – 7 % ) The risk factors increasing age, the concomitant use of long-acting sedatives, positive pressure ventilation, co-existing respiratory disease. Cautious Parenteral use of opioids

Early and late

release itch maintain pain relief Pruritus Incidence – 1 – 100 % !! 70 – morphine, 10 – fent Special itch C fibres Pregnant females – more- in the face and thorax – manifest – cephalad spread to nerve 5 No histamine release – no AH Ondan ,diclo propofol – decreases itch naloxone (2 micg/ kg/ h) naltrexone (6–9 mg) release itch maintain pain relief

No neuro toxicity There is no evidence that single, repeated, or continuous administration of the commonly used opioids such as morphine and fentanyl produce deleterious changes in the spinal cord of humans or monkeys High dose morphine IT 10 -20 mg hyperalgesia !! Probably through substance P

Nausea and vomiting The incidence of nausea and vomiting associated with neuraxial opioids is 20-50%. It is more common in females and with intrathecal morphine. It is thought to be mediated by cephalad migration of the opioid to the chemoreceptor trigger zone Transit time and hypomotility !!?? Naloxone !!

Urinary retention The incidence of urinary retention is approximately 30-40%. more common in young men and with intrathecal morphine. It is mediated by opioid receptors in the sacral spinal cord. This inhibits sacral parasympathetic outflow that leads to detrusor relaxation.

Fentanyl 10 -25 mic can intensify block Decrease the need of LA Decreased hemodynamic changes Prolonged post op analgesia Duration – less !!

tramadol & sufentanil Sufentanil Doses of 2. 5 mic to 7.5 mic Mainly used for labour analgesia Similar to fentanyl LSCS with low dose bupivacaine Tramadol – 10 – 50 mg Mu and monoaminergic actions Analgesia But nausea and vomiting with higher doses more than 10 mg

Diamorphine Diamorphine is a lipid soluble pro drug Oct. Water PC – 180 Esterase metabolism Morphine derivatives Pharmacokinetics unpredictable Out of use

5min. - 1-4 hours 5 min – 2-4 hrs 30 min. 18-24 hrs .

Mixtures Morphine + fentanyl buprenorphine + fentanyl Morphine + sufentanil

Epinephrine 0.2 - 0.3 mg prolongs lignocaine and tetracaine anesthesia But may have no effect on bupivacaine No proved neurotoxicity No to ambulatory anaesthesia limits LA absorption, increases neuronal exposure, enhances duration of action, enhances the quality of block, limits toxicity of LA drugs Phenylephrine 2-5 mg

Alpha 2 agonists Clonidine Dexmedetomidine

Clonidine activating post junctional α2-adrenoceptors in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.(also central) Basic is sympatholysis 15 to 150 μg have been used Synergy with opioids increased duration of anesthesia, analgesia and motor blockade. Sedation, brady, hypotension Unlike opioids

Clonidine Decreased narcotic requirement by 30 % Can be added with narcotics Decreased pain in chronic cancer pain even if refractory to opioids

Dexmed 5 µg dexmedetomidine seems to be an attractive alternative as an adjuvant to spinal ropivacaine in surgical procedures, especially those requiring long time. It has excellent quality of postoperative analgesia with minimal side effects.

Dexmed 3 mcg of intrathecal dexmedetomidine was found to be equipotent with 30 mcg of clonidine Intrathecal dexmedetomidine 5 mcg and fentanyl 25 mcg were compared for vaginal surgeries with bupivacaine anesthesia. Dexmedetomidine caused significantly longer sensory and motor blockade whereas peak effect and onset time were not different

Benzodiazepines - Midazolam GABA 2 receptors in dorsal horn Also delta receptors 1 -2 mg – motor block , early post op analgesia ? Prolongation of anaesthesia 12 mg / day – chronic pain Can be combined with opioids and clonidine Early - neuro toxicity - ? Possibly addition of 10 % HCl in preparation – now proved as nil

Ketoroloc COX is released at the spinal level in response to acute pain and inflammation, contributing to central sensitization. Can COX inhibitors do anything ?? In animals 2 mg intrathecal ketoroloc – decreased allodynia but usefulness ??

magnesium The addition of magnesium sulfate 50 mg to bupivacaine for sub-arachnoid block in patients with mild preeclampsia undergoing elective cesarean section prolongs the duration of analgesia and reduces postoperative analgesic requirements without additional side effects and adverse neonatal outcomes

Gaba Receptor Agonist – baclofen ( GABA b agonist) Intrathecal baclofen - used for spasticity and dystonia due to various conditions such as cerebral palsy and spastic post traumatic spinal cord injury 25mcg-200mcg/day is administered with programmable intrathecal pump. Common side effects include sedation, drowsiness, headache, nausea, and weakness. Rare - rhabdomyolysis and multiple organ failure have also been reported.

Neostigmine Neostigmine administered spinally inhibits nociception in a dose dependent manner by increasing endogenous acetylcholine. The addition of neostigmine 6.25 - 50 mcg prolonged duration of sensory and motor block . produced a high incidence of side effects, especially nausea and vomiting- transient weakness Unpopular

Calcitonin 100 μg IT decreased pain Independent of bony actions But nausea and vomiting are high

Ketamine Ketamine is a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist. antagonising NMDA receptors located on secondary afferent neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. reduces the transmission of nociceptive information in the spinal cord important role in preventing central sensitisation, windup and long term potentiation which are all involved in chronic pain.

Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg Can combine with opioids Sedation + headache reported But no vomiting Hemodynamic stability – yes Alone used or with minimal LA !!

JOACP 2008; 24(1)102-103. Use of intrathecal ketamine in two difficult cases.

Adenosine Intrathecal adenosine ( about 1 mg) does not inhibit acute pain but rather is more effective in treating allodynia and hyperalgesia. neuropathic pain A1 receptors Less side effects Delayed onset after 6- 10 hours Promising

Calcium channel blocker Ziconotide is a highly selective reversible blocker of N type voltage dependent calcium channels which are active in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, cerebral cortex, and neurohyophysis . Ziconotide is effective for the treatment of both nociceptive and neuropathic pain 2 – 3 μg / day - twice a week – but nystagmus, ataxia, sedation remains

Newer drugs Resiniferatoxin Resiniferatoxin is an investigational drug that desensitizes dorsal root ganglion neurons. 20 μg of octreotide – cancer pain P-Saporin P-Saporin is a neurotoxin which destroys cells of NK1 receptors and inhibit pain signal transmission

Intrathecal implantable pumps Intrathecal pumps deliver small doses of medication directly to the spinal fluid. It consists of a small battery-powered, programmable pump that is implanted under the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen and connected to a small catheter tunneled to the site of spinal entry Opioids, clonidine, ketamine

Pump and the catheter

Two types Preprogrammed Drug reservoir Into the subcutaneous tissue Remote outside to change the dosing Total asepsis Morphine (pain) baclofen (spastic child) 6-9 months 5 lakhs Asepsis Routine epidural cath Tunneled All drugs Maximum 2 weeks
