Summary
There will be two groups in this study: one group will be given the standard infusion of
naloxone, a drug which helps reduce side effects from opioids needed after surgery, and the
other group will receive a higher dose. The trial is designed to determine if a higher dose
of naloxone infusion will reduce side effects from opioid therapy in patients who have
undergone spine fusion for scoliosis.
