We frequently titrate the dose of morphine a patient is receiving based on their complaints or appearance of discomfort.

Will codeine be detected as morphine in a blood drug screen test?
It depends on the type and sensitivity of the test. Basic test will test for opiates, which will come back positive by using for morphine, codeine or heroin. The basic test will not differentiate between the three it will simply be positive for "opiates."
Codeine and Heroin for that matter are prodrugs meaning they have little or no pharmacological actions alone instead, they are broken down into morphine which is what actually provides the analgesia. More advanced tests can differentiate morphine and codeine because there will still be some codeine molecules and there will be morphine. If morphine were used then only morphine would show and Heroin has two other active metabolites 6-MAM and 3-MAM and if those metabolites are present it would mean heroin was used. Also note that Heroin is NOT an opiate, it only shows up because it turns into morphine which, along with codeine, is an opiate.
Also blood tests are the most accurate however they are the most expensive and they can only detect a drug for a few hours.

How long does it take for morphine injections given for chest pain to get out of the system?
It depends on the dosage given and the patient's morphine tolerance level (previous exposure/use of morphine or morphine derivatives). Generally however, most are only effective for about 4-6 hours. The rate of dissipation from the body is totally dependent on the patient as well, i.e., the patient's kidney function. Usually though within 48-72 hours most or all of it is gone. Again though, it depends on the dose and the patient - everyone is different, and you cannot rely on averages - they're simply guidelines.
