A Case Of Wooden Chest Syndrome (Exhibit Hall) - Sep 25, 2021 - Abstract #ASA2021ASA_3483; WCS involves rigidity of chest and abdominal wall making ventilation difficult. Our patient probably had WCS secondary to fentanyl administration but was not diagnosed due to her multiple comorbidities including lung disease

Clinical, Journal: Supine versus semi-Fowler's positions for tracheal extubation in abdominal surgery-a randomized clinical trial. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 25, 2021 Anesthesiologists are uniquely positioned to lead efforts to reduce unnecessary drug waste, adhere to best practices, and limit drug diversion opportunity. Tracheal extubation in the semi-Fowler's position is associated with less coughing, sputum suction, and pain, and more comfort, without specific adverse effects when compared to the conventional supine position.

Journal: The dawn of a new synthetic opioid era: the need for innovative interventions. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 25, 2021 Novel interventions worth examining include supervising drug use, proactively deterring on-line distribution and new technologies aimed at improving transparency, such as point-of-use drug content testing. Continuing to approach this problem only with existing policies and available methods, such as naloxone, is unlikely to be enough and will result in many premature deaths.

Journal: Carfentanil and the Rise and Fall of Overdose Deaths in the United States. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 25, 2021 The 2016-2017 acceleration and then 2018 decline in drug overdose deaths in the United States was associated with the sudden rise and then fall of carfentanil availability. Given the regional variation, carfentanil's decreased availability may have contributed to the reduction in overdose deaths in 2018.

Clinical, Journal: First Polish case of fatal single-substance poisoning with cyclopropylfentanyl, a new synthetic opioid. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 24, 2021 The article presents the first Polish case of fatal single-substance poisoning with cyclopropylfentanyl, a representative of fentanyl derivatives, whose victim was a 37-year-old man...Blood and urine samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The concentration of cyclopropylfentanyl was 24 ng/mL in blood and 73 ng/mL in urine.

PROLONGED QT DURING ANAESTHESIA FOR PEDIATRIC CADAVERIC LIVER TRANSPLANTATION: A CASE REPORT () - Sep 23, 2021 - Abstract #ESOT2021ESOT_1864; The anesthesia was induced with propofol 3 mg/kg, fentanyl 2 mcg/kg and rocuronium 1 mg/kg...Sevoflurane administration was stopped, and midazolam iv infusion (0.2 mg/kg/h) was started...The LQT is associated with liver dysfunction and hyperdynamic circulatory syndrome typical of cirrhotic patients 4 . Therefore, it is necessary to prevent severe ventricular arrhythmias during LT by optimizing electrolyte balance and avoiding drugs that can prolong QT through accurate hourly analysis of ECG and kalemia during LT.

Journal: Temporal changes in non-fatal opioid overdose patterns among people who use drugs in a Canadian setting. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 Background and Aims: Little is known about how the expansion of opioid agonist therapy (OAT) and emergence of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply in North America has influenced non-fatal opioid overdose (NFOD) risk...Notably, there was a sudden increase in reports of overdose following exposure to unknown substances since 2015, the majority of whom reported no recent addiction treatment engagement. Further study into patterns of substance use and strategies to improve addiction treatment engagement is needed to improve and focus overdose prevention efforts.

Clinical, Journal: Unusually High Concentration of Fentanyl in a Driver: A Case Report. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 Data presented on fentanyl in ante-mortem cases over time from several regions of North America show geographic differences on whether fentanyl concentrations are increasing. This case is an example of a blood concentration that could have been assumed to be fatal if presented on its own; a reminder that concentrations, especially those of opioids, must be interpreted with care.

Journal: Long-Term Stability of 13 Fentanyl Analogs in Blood. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 Samples suspected to contain fentanyl analogs are recommended to be stored refrigerated or frozen with limited freeze/thaw cycles. Due to instability, in the event of an acrylfentanyl overdose, samples should be analyzed immediately or stored frozen with analysis within 1 month.

Journal: Functional Profile of Systemic and Intrathecal Cebranopadol in Nonhuman Primates. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 Similar to nociceptin/μ receptor partial agonists, cebranopadol displayed reduced side effects, such as a lack of respiratory depression and pruritus. Although cebranopadol showed reduced reinforcing strength, its detectable reinforcing effects and strength warrant caution, which is critical for the development and clinical use of cebranopadol.

Journal: Atypical opioids and their effect on respiratory drive. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 In addition, experimental hypercapnic stress in healthy volunteers demonstrated no respiratory depression following the administration of a single dose of the buccal film formulation of buprenorphine when compared with placebo. Overall, the data suggest that atypical opioids may be a safer option than conventional opioids for the treatment of pain.

Clinical, Journal: Effectiveness of Sublingual Buprenorphine and Fentanyl Pump in Controlling Pain After Open Cholecystectomy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 21, 2021 In the early hours after surgery (2 and 6 hours), nausea and vomiting were lower in the buprenorphine group than in the fentanyl group even though the difference was not significant. This study suggests buprenorphine as an effective drug for patients to reduce postoperative pain because of its limited complications, inexpensiveness, and more convenient administration method.

Journal: French trends in the misuse of Fentanyl: From 2010 to 2015 (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 Our results report significant and worrying misuse of transmucosal fentanyl formulations with wide off-label use and also primary dependence on fentanyl, regardless of galenic formulation, in patients treated for chronic non cancer pain. Given the significant risks of fentanyl, it is necessary to continue the monitoring of misuse, in particular, thanks to the activities of the French Addictovigilance network allowing a multisource approach and who provides information concerning cases of abuse, misuse and dependence.

Preclinical, Journal: The synthetic opioid fentanyl enhances viral replication in vitro. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 Collectively, these data suggest that synthetic opioids promote viral replication but may have distinct effects depending on the drug dose and the viral target. As higher viral loads are associated with pathogenesis and virus transmission, additional research is essential to an enhanced understanding of opioid-virus pathogenesis and for the development of new and optimized treatment strategies.
