Evaluation of Therapeutic Opioids in Hair of Neonatal and Pediatric Patients
This study investigated the incorporation of novel and traditional medically used opioids into the hair of 118 pediatric and neonatal patients. Concentrations (median [range]) in hair were as follows: fentanyl: 4.03 pg/mg [0.10–343], sufentanil: 0.31 pg/mg [0.10–8.64], remifentanil: 0.14 pg/mg [0.10–0.43], and morphine: 27.4 pg/mg [1.0–1870].
