Neuraxial Morphine-Induced Hypothermia After Cesarean Delivery Managed With Nalbuphine : A Case Report

Neuraxial morphine-induced hypothermia has been reported as a relatively rare complication, with the successful use of naloxone and lorazepam to reverse symptoms. We report a case of intrathecal morphine-induced hypothermia with profuse sweating, intractable nausea, and vomiting in a primigravid woman undergoing cesarean delivery in the setting of preeclampsia. All symptoms rapidly resolved after a single dose of intravenous nalbuphine. Because nalbuphine has a long track record of safe use on labor and delivery units, it is an attractive and novel choice for treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced hypothermia.
