Low Dose Fentanyl Infusion Used for Sedation during Mechanical Ventilation Leading to Asynchronous Ventilation - A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Fentanyl induced chest wall rigidity is more commonly observed on high bolus dose of intravenous fentanyl. We report here a case of asynchronous ventilation on low dose fentanyl infusion used for sedation in intensive care unit. Ventilation improved only with neuromuscular relaxation and on cessation of fentanyl. We suggest to have high degree of suspicion for this potentially life threatening side effect of fentanyl on use of this drug. Key Messages: Low dose intravenous fentanyl infusion is capable of producing chest wall rigidity
