Meperidine in patient-controlled analgesia: a near-fatal mishap.

J L Plummer et al.
Toxicology, 95(1-3), 37-44 (1995-01-06)
This study investigated behavioural effects of the toxic pethidine metabolite, norpethidine, in rats and its interactions with reserpine, apomorphine and physostigmine. Following intraperitoneal administration, brain concentrations of norpethidine reached a plateau after 20-40 min and remained elevated for 2 h.

Archives of surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960), 137(1), 84-88 (2002-01-31)
Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) meperidine hydrochloride can be used with a reasonable margin of safety. A retrospective review was performed of 355 medical records of patients receiving IV PCA meperidine treatment. Four groups of patients were defined, based on
P Slinger et al.
Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 9(2), 128-134 (1995-04-01)
It has remained unclear whether epidural opioid analgesia permits better recovery of postthoracotomy pulmonary function than an optimal method of systemic opioid administration. Lumbar epidural meperidine infusions were compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) meperidine infusions in a prospective randomized
J H Vranken et al.
Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 49(5), 665-670 (2005-04-20)
Intrathecal administration of meperidine, an opioid with local anesthetic activity, can induce analgesia in patients with intractable cancer pain. However, continuous intrathecal administration may result in the accumulation of normeperidine, responsible for central nervous system toxicity. Ten patients with neuropathic
