PRODIGY, a Medtronic-sponsored Study: How to Assess the Risk of Respiratory Compromise

The PRODIGY study demonstrates that 41.6% of hospitalized patients receiving parenteral opioids experience respiratory compromise (RC). PRODIGY has developed a simple tool to predict which patients are at highest risk of RC, providing the first ever validated method of guiding who is best to monitor.
