Risk factors for morphine-associated sedation in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia for postoperative pain
The identified risk factors for morphine-associated oversedation can facilitate early identification and prevention of complications in high-risk populations. Our findings suggest that perioperative use of sedative-hypnotics and continuous opioid infusions should be approached cautiously in at-risk patients.
