Key result
A review of the literature indicates that preoperative opioid use is associated with worsened surgical outcomes, supporting the implementation of a multidisciplinary outpatient preoperative optimization program for opioid weaning.
Why the study?
Does preoperative opioid weaning improve surgical outcomes in chronic pain patients seeking surgery?
Does preoperative opioid weaning improve surgical outcomes in chronic pain patients seeking surgery?
Preoperative opioid weaning is proposed as a critical optimization strategy to improve surgical outcomes and reduce postoperative opioid dependence in chronic pain patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Preoperative opioid use may worsen outcomes; leaves open whether weaning improves results in chronic pain patients.
Heath B. McAnally (2017) conducted a review in Chronic pain patients seeking surgery. Preoperative opioid weaning optimization protocol was evaluated. A review of the literature indicates that preoperative opioid use is associated with worsened surgical outcomes, supporting the implementation of a multidisciplinary outpatient preoperative optimization program for opioid weaning.
