Naloxone is a competitive opioid antagonist typically administered to reverse opioidinduced respiratory depression. Postoperative administration of naloxone may be considered a proxy for significant postoperative opioid-induced respiratory depression and data regarding its use may be utilized as a quality measure. Few large studies have been done to characterize the population and define an incidence of naloxone recipients in the postoperative inpatient setting.
