Abstract
Morphine-induced respiratory depression may occur at any time during the APS admission. However, the optimal frequency of intermittent RR monitoring is unknown. Furthermore, because multiple variables (age, sex, prior opioid administration, site of operation) may affect morphine-induced respiratory depression, further investigation must be performed to determine the ideal monitoring protocol.
