A member asked:
Post surgery pain manage for patient woken up from ga. which is considered better fentanyl or morphine for a patient who is opiate resistant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comments: Would prefer NOT to use either for post-operative pain as each very potent, and could cause apnea in a relatively naive patient. Fentanyl is the most potent narcotic we have available on the market at this time.
