The biggest thing to watch with Dilaudid is respiratory depression. That's how it works... It suppresses the smooth muscles, which compose most of your internal organs, including your diaphram (which is what allows you to breathe). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
The diaphragm isn't smooth muscle. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
And Dilaudid doesn't have major effects on ANY muscle, really.
