Child's sex influences morphine's dose response and adverse effects, with White girls experiencing a higher burden of PONV and RD after tonsillectomy.
Suggests sex-specific morphine considerations in pediatric tonsillectomy; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for prospective validation.
This study demonstrates that child's sex influences morphine's dose response and adverse effects. White girls have an unequal burden with higher incidences of PONV, RD, and prolonged PACU stays following tonsillectomy from PONV and RD as total morphine doses are increased.
