My experience would be the same -- young, generally fit patients with trauma
do not usually vomit with morphine or diamorphine. Pethidine undoubtedly
causes more vomiting which is especially true of the older patient with a
medical problem (although it might be better for those with asthma/wheeze
because of its smooth muscle relaxant effect).
Cheers
