Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Intravenous nalbuphine 50 microg x kg(-1) is ineffective for opioid-induced pruritus in pediatrics.
This investigation evaluated the efficacy of nalbuphine in treating postoperative opioid-induced pruritus (Pr) in pediatric patients. ⋯ This preliminary report suggests that nalbuphine 50 microg x kg(-1) iv is not effective in treating postoperative opioid-induced pruritus in pediatric patients. The modified CAS score and PrID warrant further investigation.
