Opioids, and particularly morphine and hydromorphone, are frequently used to treat moderate-to-severe pain. The goals of this review are to describe the pharmacological characteristics of both drugs, to cover the latest evidence of their respective indications, and to promote their safe use in pediatrics. Morphine is the most studied opioid in children and is known to be safe and effective. Morphine and hydromorphone can be used to manage acute pain and are usually avoided when treating chronic non-cancer pain. Current evidence suggests that both opioids have a similar efficacy and adverse effect profile. Hydromorphone has not been studied in neonates but in some centers, it has been used instead of morphine for certain patients. In palliative care, the use of opioids is often indicated and their benefits extend beyond analgesia; indications include treatment of central neuropathic pain in children with severe neurologic impairment and treatment of respiratory distress in the imminently dying patients. The longstanding belief that the use of well-titrated opioids hastens death should be abandoned as robust evidence has shown the opposite. With the current opioid crisis, a responsible use of opioids should be promoted, including limiting the opioid prescription to the patient's anticipated needs, optimizing a multimodal analgesic plan including the use of non-pharmacological measures and non-opioid medications, and providing information on safe storage and disposal to patients and families. More data is needed to better guide the use of morphine and hydromorphone in children.</p>","PeriodicalId":56337,"journal":{"name":"Minerva Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"777-789"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10163357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
