Pain Control Service, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, London, UK
Paediatr Anaesth 16:302-8. 2006..Morphine is commonly used for chest drain removal pain, although a few studies in adults suggest that inhalation agents may be effective for this procedure. Little is known about chest drain removal pain and its management in children...
