TLDR
It is demonstrated that morphine releases histamine in amounts which correlate with the hemodynamic changes seen, and prior administration of H1 and H2 histamine antagonists provide significant protection — more so than either alone.Abstract:
High dose narcotic anesthesia with fentanyl or morphine is not associated with significant direct myocardial depression. Morphine is reported to produce arteriolar dilatation and a decrease in SVR (probably due to histamine release) while fentanyl is not. Studies were undertaken to determine if morphine or fentanyl caused histamine release; if such a release correlated with hemodynamic changes, and if H1 and H2 antagonists could provide protection. In a randomized double blind study of 40 patients in 4 groups, patients who received morphine (1 mg/kg) demonstrated significant increases in plasma histamine (880±163 to 7,437±2,684 pg/ml−p<0.01) accompanied by an increase in CI (2.4±0.2 to 3.0±0.2 l/min/m2−p<0.01) and decreases in\(\overline {BP} \) (88±4 to 61±4 torr−p<0.01) and SVR (15.5±1 to 9.0±1 torr-l-min−1p<0.01). The prior administration of H1 (dyphenhydramine 1 mg/kg) and H2 (cimetidine 4 mg/kg) antagonists provided significant protection (SVR 17.4±1 to 14.6±1 torr-l-min−1−p<0.05) although histamine increased comparably (1,059±22 to 7,653±4,242 pg/ml−p<0.05). In a separate study, seven patients receiving fentanyl 50 µg/kg showed no histamine changes (935±51 to 685±51 pg/ml) and no significant hemodynamic response. Eight patients receiving morphine 1 mg/kg again showed significant increases in plasma histamine (880±163 to 7,480±2,230 pg/ml−p<0.05) which collelated with the decrease in SVR (r=0.81). These data demonstrate that morphine releases histamine in amounts which correlate with the hemodynamic changes seen. Prior administration of H1 and H2 histamine antagonists provide significant protection — more so than either alone. Fentanyl produced no histamine release which may account for much of the cardiovascular stability reported with this drug.read more

Functional heterogeneity of human mast cells from different anatomic sites: in vitro responses to morphine sulfate.
Michael D. Tharp,Anne Kagey-Sobotka,Charity C. Fox,Gianni Marone,Lawrence M. Lichtenstein,Timothy J. Sullivan +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cutaneous mast cells release inflammatory mediators after stimulation by MS, whereas mast cells residing in lung, heart, and gastrointestinal tissues do not, which indicates that human mast cells in different anatomic sites can vary in their functional responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of activation of human mast cells and basophils by general anaesthetic drugs
TL;DR: From the results obtained with the in vitro model, it is clear that new drugs promising for the anesthesiologic arena should be tested in vitro before their potential histamine-releasing activity is experienced in vivo.

Acute desensitization of a patient with cystic fibrosis allergic to both beta-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics
TL;DR: This case demonstrates the feasibility of acute, antigen-specific desensitization of an aminoglycoside-allergic patient and the failure to achieve a second, simultaneous desensItization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative uses of histamine antagonists.
TL;DR: The authors recommend that this prophylaxis be given to the following groups of patients: those with a history of adverse reactions or history of allergy, patients undergoing surgery with a high risk of histamine release, elderly patients, and those with poor physical status due to underlying systemic diseases.

Histamine release from rat mast cells induced by the metabolic activation of drugs of abuse into free radicals

TL;DR: The results suggest that morphine, cocaine and methadone are activated into free radicals which produce membrane lipid perturbation and histamine release, suggesting that a massive release of mast cell histamine could be an additional risk factor in heroin and cocaine overdoses.

TL;DR: Cimetidine is a specific competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist and is an effective inhibitor of gastric secretion in animals and man with similar pharmacological properties to metiamide.

TL;DR: In the cardiac but not in the normal subjects, significant increases in cardiac index, stroke index, central venous pressure, and pulmonary-artery pressure were observed after morphine was administered, suggesting that large doses of morphine may be used with safety in patients with minimal circulatory reserve.

TL;DR: Differences in the release of histamine account for most, if not all, of the different effects of morphine and fentanyl on the peripheral vasculature.

Chemical differentiation of histamine H1- and H2-receptor agonists.
TL;DR: 2-(2-aminoethyl)thiazole and 2-aminosine are nontautomeric and are highly selective agonists for histamine H1 receptors (H1:H2 ca. 90:1 and 30:1, respectively).
