Neurological excitation in a 6-week-old male infant after morphine overdose


Thomas, Jörg; Corson, Nils I; Meinhold, Anke; Both, Christian P (2019). Neurological excitation in a 6-week-old male infant after morphine overdose. Paediatric Anaesthesia, 29(10):1060-1061.

Abstract

While respiratory depression is a known complication of morphine overdose, the neuro-excitatory side effect of the morphine metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide is less widely known. Here, we report the case of an infant with neurological excitation after morphine overdose. The neuro-excitation in this infant was probably induced by an elevated morphine-3-glucuronide concentration.
