The woman presented for arthroscopic right rotator cuff repair, subacromial decompression and distal clavicle excision. During the surgery general anaesthesia was induced using fentanyl and was administered again during incision. In order to reduce postoperative IV opioid requirements, the surgery team requested morphine 10mg, which was brought by the operating room (OR) nurse. After closing the incision and a few minutes before extubating, the surgeon verbally identified the morphine as being in a small blue container. The surgeon drew up 10mL of the drug without confirming the concentration with the nurse and injected into the subacromial space (intraarticular). In the post-anaesthesia care unit, she was found non-esponsive to verbal or tactile stimuli. In a concern of opioid overdose, the woman was given naloxone and became responsive.
