Peripheral vascular effects of morphine in patients without pre-existing cardiac disease.
The effect of doses of morphine (10 mg/70 kg) on the forearm blood flow and vascular resistance was evaluated in 10 adults. The present findings were correlated with the central haemodynamic changes observed previously. Consistent and significant increases in forearm blood flow and significant decreases in forearm vascular resistance were observed in all patients.
