AbstractIn a case of epidural application of buprenorphinehydrochloride a reduction of arterial pO2 was seen 4-6 hours after the injection. This cannot be explained as a respiratory depression due to buprenorphine, because immediately after a repeat epidural application of the drug the pO2 rose again. Reduced pO2 a long time after buprenorphine is a a result of hypoventilation caused by increased pain.
