Aspiration Pneumonitis Caused by Delayed Respiratory Depression Following Intrathecal Morphine Administration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Opioid analgesia is the primary pharmacologic intervention for managing pain. However, opioids can cause various adverse effects including pruritus, nausea, constipation, and sedation. Respiratory depression is the most fatal side effect. Therefore, cautious monitoring of respiratory status must be done after opioid administration. Here, we report a patient who suffered from respiratory depression with deep sedation and aspiration pneumonitis after intrathecal morphine administration.

Neuraxial morphine and respiratory depression: finding the right balance.
Morphine is a drug commonly administered via the epidural or intrathecal route, and is regarded by many as the 'gold-standard' single-dose neuraxial opioid due to its postoperative analgesic efficacy and prolonged duration of action. However, respiratory depression is a recognized side effect of neuraxial morphine administered in the perioperative setting. We conducted an extensive review of ar...
متن کاملAntinociceptive and Respiratory Effects of Intrathecal H-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2 (DALDA) and [Dmt
DALDA (H-Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2) and [Dmt ]DALDA (H-DmtD-Arg-Phe-Lys-NH2) (Dmt 5 29,69-dimethyltyrosine) are potent and highly selective m-opioid agonists (Ki d/Ki m . 10,000 and Ki k/Ki m . 100). Both peptides carry a 31 charge at physiological pH. Their antinociceptive and respiratory effects were compared with morphine (MOR) after intrathecal administration in rats. Both DALDA and [Dmt]DALDA ...

Intrathecal injection of sufentanil with adrenalin was performed in 45 cases (20 female, 25 male age range: 18-40 years). All injections were performed in the sitting position, with a number 20 intrathecal needle immersed in adrenalin. The cases were observed for 72 hours. Maximum duration of analgesia was 12 hours (60%) and the minimum was 3 hours (13.3%). This method reduces the need for repe...

BACKGROUND Intrathecally administered morphine is effective as part of a postoperative analgesia regimen following major hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery. However, the potential for postoperative respiratory depression at the doses required for effective analgesia currently limits its clinical use. The use of a low-dose, prophylactic naloxone infusion following intrathecally administered morphi...
