Side effects of opioids during short-term administration: effect of age, gender, and race

Abstract: Meperidine produced fewer side effects than morphine during short-term use. The risk of respiratory depression increases substantially after 60 years of age. Women have nausea and vomiting more often than men. The effect of race deserves further investigation.

“…Unfortunately, many complications after TKA may be associated with pain management strategies themselves. Opioid analgesics, including intravenous, patient-controlled, and oral, have been a standard modality for postoperative pain management but are also associated with increased risk of nausea, pruritus, vomiting, respiratory depression, prolonged ileus, and cognitive dysfunction [18,64,85]. Regional pain control techniques such as femoral nerve blockade may limit exposure to opioid-related adverse events but may lead to other complications such as quadriceps weakness, neuropathy, and postoperative falls [8,75].…”
