To describe principles of intravenous (i.v.) morphine titration. To analyse current knowledge based on the experimental and clinical studies. To describe clinical implications in the operating room, postanaesthesia care unit (PACU), prehospital care, emergency and intensive care units (ICU), and cancerology. To provide recommendations for clinical practice. ⋯ Because of important pharmacological variability in morphine need, iv morphine titration is a simple method which allows a rapid and efficient pain relief notably in the postoperative care.
