Opioid-induced constipation in intensive care – how big is the problem, and can we solve it? Open
Opioids are commonly used on the intensive care unit (ICU) but are associated with a high incidence of constipation, often resistant to conventional laxative treatment. Recently developed peripheral mu-opioid receptor antagonists (naloxego…
