Low-dose morphine reduces tolerance to central hypovolemia in healthy adults without affecting muscle sympathetic outflow

Abstract

In this randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial, we found that tolerance to simulated hemorrhage was lower after low-dose morphine administration. Such reductions in hemorrhagic tolerance were observed without differences in MSNA burst frequency responses between morphine and placebo trials. These data, the first to be obtained in conscious humans, demonstrate that low-dose morphine reduces hemorrhagic tolerance. Thus, morphine is not an ideal analgesic for a hemorrhaging individual in the prehospital setting.
