Baby given morphine overdose

2008-07-28 14:02

Hong Kong - A probe has been launched in Hong Kong after a baby boy was given 10 times the required amount of morphine, hospital officials said on Monday.

The two-week-old boy was given 2.5 milligrams of morphine after being admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the Kowloon district of the territory on July 18 with jaundice.

Hospital administrators said the baby appeared to have breathing difficulties and was given the morphine to help him breath. But they have launched an investigation to find out why he received the unusually large dose.

They said the boy has recovered but remained in hospital. - Sapa-dpa
