Nalbuphine-induced pulmonary edema.
We report the occurrence of acute pulmonary edema in a patient receiving therapy with nalbuphine, a synthetic narcotic analgesic. Other potential causes of acute pulmonary edema were excluded. It is likely that all opiate drugs share the propensity to produce acute pulmonary edema, and nalbuphine resembles other opiates in this regard.
