Critical Care Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD) and post-operative apnea (POA), can lead to increased post-operative complications. Identification of OIRD and POA remains difficult with current monitoring technology. A novel, non-invasive, Respiratory Volume Monitor (RVM) that provides continuous, real-time, measurements of minute ventilation (MV), tidal volume (TV) and respiratory rate (RR), is now available. The RVM was utilized to detect the effect of opioids on respiratory status and apneic breathing patterns. ⋯ Diane Ladd: Employee: Repiratory Motion, Inc Jenny Freeman: Employee: Respiratory Motion, Inc., Shareholder: Respiratory Motion, Inc.
