Risk factors for bradypnea in a historical cohort of surgical patients receiving fentanyl-based intravenous analgesia.
Abstract
The use of both pulse oximetry (SpO) and respiration rate (RR) monitoring is recommended to prevent the development of respiratory deterioration, particularly after extubation and narcotic analgesic use for pain management. In this study, we investigated the factors contributing to the development of bradypnea in surgical patients receiving fentanyl-based intravenous analgesia after general anesthesia.
