Summary

This study will monitor 52 adults after surgery to see if the timing of opioid painkillers affects breathing problems. Participants will wear a noninvasive breathing monitor in the recovery room. The goal is to find a link between when opioids are given and drops in breathing function, which could help make pain management safer.
