I am currently managing a terminal cancer patient's pain in the ICU because this person has recently been having severe respiratory depression while at the same time requiring massive amounts of narcotics/ketamine/intrathecals for pain control.
I was wondering if anyone here has had good luck with co-administration of naltrexone with morphine for better pain control/lower dosing of morphine.
I have done some looking around, and it seems to be helpful, but I wanted a "real-world" perspective. Thanks for any help.
