Abstract
Since narcotic antagonists have long been used in the second stage of labor1 and naloxone has been shown to have no detrimental effects on the normal fetus,2 I wonder why the Committee on Drugs3 recommends that naloxone not be used to reverse the fetal and neonatal effects of maternally administered narcotic analgesics?
