What are the consequences of using morphine at end of life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
End of life morphine: Morphine is used to make the dying patient more comfortable. It not only reduces pain but also reduces the "air hunger" associated with people dying from respiratory failure, a wonderful thing.
