Abstract

Naloxone was used in the treatment of a 6-month-old infant who was inadvertently given an intramuscular injection of methadone. The infant required repeated administration of naloxone and received a total of 0.31 mg. per kilogram intravenously. Useful clinical observations for monitoring the need for additional naloxone included slowing of the respiratory rate, decrease in respiratory excursion, inspiratory stridor, and increasing lethargy with lack of spontaneous activity.
