Summary This international multidisciplinary consensus statement was developed to provide balanced guidance on the safe peri‐operative use of opioids in adults. An panel healthcare professionals evaluated literature relating postoperative opioid‐related harm, including persistent opioid use; opioid‐induced ventilatory impairment; non‐medical diversion and dependence; driving under influence prescription opioids. Recommended strategies reduce harm include pre‐operative assessment risk an...
The dose of opioid prescribed for postoperative pain relief has traditionally been based on the weight patient. Although a reduction in is often suggested elderly patients over 70 years age, age-related alterations to are generally not considered younger patients. records 1010 patients, under old, morphine via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after major operations were examined see what factors might best predict amount used first 24 h surgery. Factors included sex, weight, operative...
Meperidine has been used to suppress postanesthesia shivering. However, its efficacy date only assessed by observation of visible We measured the effect meperidine on oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production (VCO2) and pulmonary gas exchange in 14 otherwise healthy patients shivering after general anesthesia. successfully suppressed all was associated with significant decreases VO2, VCO2 minute ventilation (VE) but not return basal levels. Arterial PCO2 levels remained unchanged...
The number of patients in buprenorphine opioid substitution therapy (BOST) or methadone (MOST) programs is increasing. If these require surgery, it generally agreed that should be continued perioperatively. While some also recommend continued, concerns may limit the analgesic effectiveness full mu-opioid agonists have led others to suggest cease before surgery. However, no good evidence exists for either course action. Therefore, we undertook a retrospective cohort study comparing pain...

Pain relief using intermittent subcutaneous injections of an opioid (e.g. morphine) avoids the need for venous access and does not require complex or expensive pumps devices. Although data on pharmacokinetics morphine exist, there are no comparable fentanyl in healthy volunteers. Therefore, aim this study was to characterize 200 microg administered as a single bolus dose via route opioid-naive volunteers.Nine male volunteers were given more than 30 s. Opioid effects blocked by administration...
The pharmacokinetics of morphine in venous blood after a 5 mg bolus dose via an indwelling subcutaneous cannula were characterised 22 elderly patients undergoing elective major surgery.
