Re: Analgesics

Fentanyl is a great narcotic for all the reasons noted. It can also cause a situration were the chest wall becomes ridid and ventilation is impossible until it is reversed or a paralytic is administered. I've personally had this happen only in infants but I've been told it will happen in adults also.
