Routine morphine infusion in preterm newborns who received ventilatory support: a randomized controlled trial

Article Abstract:

An intravenous infusion of morphine may not benefit newborn babies in the intensive care unit, according to a study of 150 babies. The babies who received morphine had a similar response on three different pain tests as those who did not receive morphine. Morphine also did not improve the babies' intellectual function after they were discharged from the ICU.
