Naloxone and pentazocine given after morphine.

E Cardan, M Hagel, A Roth

    Acta Anaesthesiologica Belgica
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Morphine provided analgesia but reduced breathing. Naloxone reversed this but caused pain. Pentazocine restored pain relief and breathing, maintaining stable respiration post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Post-operative pain management is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Opioid analgesics like morphine are effective but can cause respiratory depression.
    • Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse these effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the analgesic efficacy and respiratory effects of morphine, naloxone, and pentazocine combination therapy.
    • To assess the ability of pentazocine to counteract naloxone-induced reduction in analgesia.
    • To analyze the impact of this drug combination on respiratory parameters post-abdominal surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • 25 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery received intramuscular morphine (0.3 mg/kg) for analgesia.
    • Intravenous naloxone was administered to reverse morphine's effects.
    • Intravenous pentazocine was given to assess its effect on analgesia and respiration.

    Main Results:

    • Morphine provided complete analgesia but significantly reduced respiratory frequency and minute-ventilation.
    • Naloxone partially restored respiratory function but led to breakthrough pain in 17 patients.
    • Pentazocine improved analgesia and led to a more homogeneous improvement in minute-ventilation without significantly altering respiratory rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining naloxone with pentazocine can reverse morphine-induced respiratory depression while maintaining analgesia.
    • This combination therapy offers a potential strategy for managing post-operative pain and respiratory function.
    • The drug combination resulted in more consistent minute-ventilation compared to morphine alone.
