    CONCLUSION

    Oxycodone concentrations in the CSF of epidural patients were


    1000-10000 times higher than that of oxymorphone, suggesting
    that oxycodon provides the majority of the analgesic effects in
    these cases.Patients receiving an oxycodone epidural also
    required less rescue analgesia than those receiving intravenous
    oxycodone.
