Introduction: Patients of end-stage heart failure often develop dyspnea. Although morphine is used for dyspnea, these patients are often inappropriate group for using morphine due to renal failure. Case: A seventy-year-old male with end-stage heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy developed dyspnea. We used continuous oxycodone infusion for dyspnea with small dose as an alternative to morphine due to renal failure. His dyspnea was relieved in dose-dependent without heart failure recovery. Conclusion: Oxycodone may be an alternative therapy for dyspnea with end-stage heart failure with renal failure.
