Journal: Determination of Selected Opiates in Hair Samples Using Microextraction by Packed Sorbent: A New Approach for Sample Clean-up. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 26, 2020 In this article the development and validation of an analytical method using microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) to determine tramadol (TRM), codeine (COD), morphine (MOR), 6-acetylcodeine (6-AC), 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM) and fentanyl (FNT) in hair samples by gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) is presented...Precision and accuracy revealed coefficients of variation typically below 15% and relative errors within a ±15% interval, respectively. This new approach has proven to be an excellent alternative to classic procedures, reducing the volumes of organic solvents required.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Systematic review of the clinical consequences of butyrfentanyl and corresponding analogues. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 25, 2020 The toxidrome was consistent with other opioid overdoses, and naloxone was successfully used in nine of 10 patients. We encourage toxicology screenings of novel fentanyl analogs such as butyrfentanyl or 4-fluorobutyrfentanyl when an opioid overdose of unknown nature presents.

Clinical, PK/PD data, Journal: Identification of Cytochrome P450 Polymorphisms in Burn Patients and Impact on Fentanyl Pharmacokinetics: A Pilot Study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 24, 2020 All three patients with variant polymorphisms had increased serum fentanyl concentrations due to impaired clearance. This pilot study supportsthe need for further research in this topic and CYP genotyping of individual patients prior to receiving opiate analgesics to inform precision-guided decisions, improve therapeutic efficacy, and, most importantly, increase patient well-being and safety.

The proposed systematic review and network meta-analysis will not only provide a more thorough review of common medications used to decrease emergence coughing, but also inform clinicians which of these pharmacological strategies is the best approach.

Journal: Continuous Opioid Monitoring along with Nerve Agents on a Wearable Microneedle Sensor Array. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 24, 2020 The new multimodal microneedle sensor array relies on unmodified and organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) enzyme-modified carbon paste (CP) microneedle electrodes for square wave voltammetric (SWV) detection of the fentanyl and nerve agent targets, respectively...Successful OPi-OP detection con-ducted in a skin-mimicking phantom gel demonstrates the suitability of the device for rapid on-body sensing. Such progress towards continuous minimally-invasive transdermal analysis of drugs of abuse and nerve agents holds promise for rapid countermeasures for protecting soldiers, civil-ians, and healthcare personnel.

Retrospective data, Journal: Conversion of Intrathecal Opioids to Fentanyl in Chronic Pain Patients With Implantable Pain Pumps: A Retrospective Study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 22, 2020 Such progress towards continuous minimally-invasive transdermal analysis of drugs of abuse and nerve agents holds promise for rapid countermeasures for protecting soldiers, civil-ians, and healthcare personnel. Given the pharmacokinetics of lipophilic fentanyl compared to hydrophilic morphine/hydromorphone, the current conversion ratio of IV fentanyl to IT fentanyl and IV morphine to IT fentanyl appears to be conservative.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Opioid Management in Older Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 22, 2020 Since older adults with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease are at increased risk for adverse events, vigilant monitoring of opioid prescription is critical. Lastly, collaboration among an interprofessional clinical team can ensure safe prescription of opioids in older adults with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease.

Journal: Drug and Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths - United States, 2017-2018. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2020 Efforts related to all opioids, particularly deaths involving synthetic opioids, should be strengthened to sustain and accelerate declines in opioid-involved deaths. Comprehensive surveillance and prevention measures are critical to reducing opioid-involved deaths, including continued surveillance of evolving drug use and overdose, polysubstance use, and the changing illicit drug market; naloxone distribution and outreach to groups at risk for IMF exposure; linkage to evidence-based treatment for persons with substance use disorders; and continued partnerships with public safety.

Clinical, Journal: Etomidate plus fentanyl for anesthesia in pediatric strabotomy. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2020 The mean emergence agitation score in group B was significantly lower than that in group A when the maximum emergence in group B was at 20 min after entering into PACU (p < 0.05). In conclusion, etomidate combined with fentanyl plays a good efficacy in anesthesia of pediatric strabotomy compared with etomidate plus ketamine.

Prospective studies are needed to confirm this unexpected result.

Journal: Rate of Fentanyl Positivity Among Urine Drug Test Results Positive for Cocaine or Methamphetamine. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 20, 2020 Stimulant users who may be opioid naive are at a heightened risk of overdose when exposed to fentanyl. Clinicians need to be aware that patients presenting for treatment of suspected drug overdose or substance use disorder may have been exposed, knowingly or unknowingly, to multiple substances, including the combination of stimulants and opioids.

Clinical, Journal: Determination of dose and efficacy of atracurium for rapid sequence induction of anesthesia: A randomised prospective study. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 17, 2020 All patients were given 2-3 mg/kg propofol and 1 μg/kg fentanyl intravenously for the induction of anesthesia followed by different doses of atracurium (0.6 mg/kg, 0.75 mg/kg or 1 mg/kg) without a priming dose...An atracurium dose of 1 mg/kg facilitated significant differences in vocal cord and diaphragm paralysis compared with the dose of 0.6 mg/kg (P = 0.03). The administration of a relatively high dose of atracurium without priming can be used as an alternative neuromuscular blocking agent for rapid sequence induction of anesthesia in some circumstances.
