Study Overview

Brief Summary

Morphine is the gold standard for treatment of severe acute pain but it has a number of adverse effects.

No study has so far managed to identify the morphine-induced adverse drug reactions. The primary objective of this study is to determine predictive factors of morphine-induced adverse drug reaction when it is used in emergency departments.

Detailed Description

We want to study a large cohort of morphine-induced adverse drug reactions patients, the consequences for patients, mainly in terms of severity, and predictive criteria. This will allow us to identify some patients most at risk of morphine-induced adverse drug reactions, and thus to adapt morphine titration and monitoring of these patients. Leading to a better understanding and a better prediction of adverse effects in patients, it is possible that part of the "opiophobia" which persists in emergency services disappear. Finally, it is toward a better security but also a better efficiency in the management of pain patients in emergencies that leads this study.

The secondary objectives are:

To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events related to morphine. To establish an inventory of morphine use in emergency departments in the different centres studied.

Inclusion Criteria

  • All patients aged 18 years or older who require treatment with morphine for pain control will be considered for entry into the study.
  • Conscious without life threatening at the inclusion

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who receive morphine during or after an orotracheal intubation, altered level of consciousness, inability to give consent or refusal of patient.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Occurrence of morphine related adverse-event

Time Frame: From the administration of morphine until 6 hours after this first administration

The primary outcome variable will be defined as occurrence of morphine related adverse-event (including nausea, dizziness, emesis, drowsiness, pruritus, respiratory distress and death)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Description of adverse effects caused by morphine(For each side effects of morphine from the first administration of morphine until 6 hours after.)
