Notes: Abstract The case of an 11-year-old boy who suffered second and third degree burns to 78% of his body is reported. The large doses of morphine used as analgesia resulted in severe side effects: ventilatory dependence, impairment of gastrointestinal function and psychological disturbance. Intravenous lignocaine was added without benefit. The addition of low-dose intravenous clonidine, however, precipitated a dramatic reduction in morphine consumption with an attendant improvement in ventilatory, gastrointestinal and psychological functions.
