Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyMorphine in ventilated neonates: its effects on arterial blood pressure.
To study the effects of continuous morphine infusion on arterial blood pressure in ventilated neonates. ⋯ Overall arterial blood pressure, use of inotropes, and blood pressure variability were not influenced by morphine infusion. Therefore the clinical impact of hypotension as a side effect of low dose morphine treatment in neonates is negligible.
