Journal: Fentanyl analogue overdose: Key lessons in management in the synthetic opioid age. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2020 This includes protecting against occupational exposure, administering adequate doses of naloxone, and working with public health departments to respond to fentanyl outbreaks. Additionally, fentanyl overdoses represent a critical opportunity to move beyond acute stabilization, start buprenorphine or methadone for opioid use disorder during hospitalization, link patients to ongoing addiction treatment, and distribute naloxone into the community to help curb the overdose epidemic.

Clinical, Review, Journal: The anaesthetist, opioid analgesic drugs, and serotonin toxicity: a mechanistic and clinical review. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 The intraoperative recognition of serotonin toxicity is challenging as it can mimic other serious syndromes, such as malignant hyperthermia, sepsis, thyroid storm, and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Anaesthetists must maintain a heightened awareness of its possible occurrence and a readiness to engage in early treatment to avoid poor outcomes.

Journal: Occurrence of Tramadol and Fentanyl Use in Domestic Wastewater in Beijing (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 Seasonal variation in TRA loads was significant, with greater use in the summer than in winter. The method presented in this study can be used as an important reference for monitoring TRA and FEN use via wastewater-based epidemiology and for assessing the risk of the abuse of these compounds in China.

Journal: Surge in Fentanyl Toxicity Deaths in Jefferson Parish, LA, 2013-2018. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 The percentage of fentanyl-related overdose deaths increased from 4% of all drug deaths in 2013 to 45% in 2018. The data validate the hypothesis that the fentanyl epidemic has affected Jefferson Parish in southeast Louisiana.

Journal: A High Dose of Fentanyl May Accelerate the Onset of Acute Postoperative Pain. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 The current retrospective study was conducted on 56 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In patients receiving relatively large doses of fentanyl intraoperatively (over 3 µg/kg body weight), the onset of acute postoperative pain accelerated significantly, in comparison with the ones receiving lower doses.

Clinical, Journal: Opioid maintenance, weaning and detoxification techniques; where we have been, where we are now & what the future holds: an update. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2020 In 2010, there was a shift in causes primarily due to the use of heroin, and currently the latest shift in opioid-related deaths involves a variety of synthetic opioids, particularly illicitly manufactured fentanyl. As the medical, sociological and political environments have drastically changed, especially in the USA, over the last 6 years with regard to opioid use and misuse, an updated review of the literature was necessary.

Journal: Physician's role in prescribing opioids in developing countries. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2020 A debate remains as to whether tramadol induces addictive effects like those of stronger analogues such as oxycodone or fentanyl. Here we present a case of tramadol dependence in an Ecuadorian patient and find that substance abuse can occur in normal individuals affected by chronic pain, otherwise treatable with standard methods.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Consensus Perioperative Management Best Practices for Patients on Transdermal Fentanyl Patches Undergoing Surgery. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2020 The current manuscript discusses the history of fentanyl and the fentanyl patch, as well as perioperative considerations, contraindications, current clinical efficacy, and clinical adversities related to the transdermal fentanyl patch. Regarding the heating of a transdermal fentanyl patch, which significantly increases blood levels of fentanyl, it is of the utmost importance that the patch be removed prior to surgery.

Clinical, Journal: Intraoperative Methadone in Same-Day Ambulatory Surgery: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Dose-Finding Pilot Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2020 The USG- TAP-blockade has analgetic and opioid-sparing advantages in MO patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the lower abdomen and in the pelvis and may be a part of the efficient multimodal analgesia within ERAS in that patient's group. In same-day discharge surgery, this pilot study identified a single intraoperative dose of methadone (0.15 mg/kg ideal body weight), which decreased intraoperative and postoperative opioid requirements and postoperative pain, compared with conventional intermittent short-duration opioids, with similar side effects.

Journal: Discovering Pain in Newborn Infants. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2020 Compared with the fentanyl group, the nonfentanyl group had circulatory and metabolic complications postoperatively. The findings indicate that preterm babies mount a substantial stress response to surgery under anesthesia with nitrous oxide and curare and that prevention of this response by fentanyl anesthesia may be associated with an improved postoperative outcome.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 29, 2019 Duration of postoperative ventilation and hospital stay were significantly shorter in the levosimendan group (P < 0.001) while the frequency of dysrhythmia, deterioration of renal function and sepsis was comparable. In patients with low EF <35% and CHF, administration of levosimendan for 24 hours before major abdominal oncologic surgeries may reduce the risk of hypotension and decompensated heart failure and may improve cardiac function.

Review, Journal: Non-nociceptive roles of opioids in the CNS: opioids' effects on neurogenesis, learning, memory and affect. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Less known is the impact of opioids on hippocampal neurogenesis, the functional manipulation of which may improve the deleterious effects of opioid use. We provide new insights into how the dysregulation of neurogenesis by opioids can modify learning and affect, mood and emotions, processes that have been well accepted to motivate addictive behaviours.
