 Does anyone have any information on the stability of local
anaesthetic/opioid mixtures for epidural or intrathecal use?

e.g. bupivacaine (hyperbaric) + alfentanil
     Bupivacaine + diamorphine
     Bupivacaine + alfentanil + diamorphine

any thoughts much appreciated

There is some information in King's Guide to Parenteral Admixtures.
It references Fentanyl, Hydromorphone, and morphine.

Also AJHP sept. 1992 pg 2149,  Sept 1990 pg 2037

Hope it helps.
