Neonatal Respiratory Depression Secondary to Maternal Analgesics, Treated by Exchange Transfusion

Russell S. Asnes M.D.1 and Johnny M. Lamb USAF, MC

1 Children's Medical and Surgical Center The Johns Hopkins Hospital 601 N. Broadway Baltimore, Maryland 21205

Drug induced respiratory depression is a constant threat to the neonate whose mother has been sedated during labor. It should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of an altered respiratory pattern in a newborn. When the depression is severe, and there is a strong suggestion that it is drug induced, an exchange transfusion should be considered in an attempt to remove the noxious agents.
