Journal: Situational Awareness of Opioid Consumption: The Missing Link to Reducing Dependence After Surgery? (Pubmed Central) - Aug 24, 2022
A tool for collecting and analyzing morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) can be used to overcome barriers to situational awareness around opioid utilization in the setting of multimodal pain management...Real-time postoperative tracking of MME over the course of an episode of care can be prohibitively labor-intensive, and teams must have practical strategies to overcome this obstacle. In view of the link between the magnitude of opioid prescriptions at discharge and persistent opioid use after cardiac surgery, we believe that improving situational awareness among the patient care team is a vital first step in reducing opioid dependence after cardiac surgery.
- | morphine sulphate / Generic mfg., ropivacaine / Generic mfg.
Retrospective data, Journal: Efficacy of Liposomal Bupivacaine for Sternotomy Pain After Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 24, 2022
To determine the efficacy of liposomal bupivacaine compared with bupivacaine or ropivacaine in patients undergoing sternotomy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or valve surgery...The primary outcome was opioid utilization in morphine milligram equivalent (MME) from 0 to 72 hours...Based on these findings and previous studies, liposomal bupivacaine should not be routinely used for CABG and/or valve surgery through a median sternotomy given lack of superiority. This helps inform surgical practice to the role of anesthetics as part of the multimodal analgesia regimen.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Abdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 24, 2022
Meta-analysis revealed that ESPB decreased the opioid consumption and improved the pain scores during the first 24 postoperative hours compared with TAP groups statistically, while the magnitude of this difference did not reach the clinically significant threshold (10 mg of intravenous morphine consumption and 1.3 cm on the VAS scale)...However, it did not improve the patients' satisfaction. Although ESPB does not provide better clinical analgesia than the TAP block, it could be a comparable nerve block technique for abdominal wall analgesia.

Journal: Common opioids and stimulants in autopsy and DUID cases: A comparison of measured concentrations. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 24, 2022
In the DUID group, the opioids heroin/morphine and methadone and the stimulants amphetamine and MDMA were often seen in concentrations above the reported lower comatose-fatal level whereas cocaine was almost always below. Thus, based on our data, the potential for false assessment of intoxication cases when comparing to reported comatose-fatal limits appears greatest on lower end concentrations of heroin/morphine, methadone, amphetamine and MDMA, whereas false assessment of cocaine appears less likely because most control cases are below reported comatose-fatal levels.

Preclinical, Journal: Sex differences in morphine sensitivity are associated with differential glial expression in the brainstem of rats with neuropathic pain. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 23, 2022
Furthermore, females showed lower overall GFAP expression in all regions except for the area postrema, the critical medullary region responsible for opioid-induced nausea and emesis. These data support the possibility that differences in astrocyte activity might underlie the sex differences seen in the processing of opioids in the context of chronic neuropathic pain.

Journal: Assessment of Postoperative Opioid Prescriptions Before and After Implementation of a Mandatory Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2022
The primary outcome was the total quantity of opioid medications (morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs] and number of opioid tablets) prescribed at discharge before and after implementation of the PDMP mandate, with separate analyses by surgical specialty (general, obstetric/gynecologic, and orthopedic) and most common surgical procedure within each specialty (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, cesarean delivery, and knee arthroscopy)...These findings might be explained by prescribers' attempts to meet the mandate exemption and bypass PDMP consultation rather than the PDMP consultation itself. Although policies coupled with EHR alerts may be associated with changes in postoperative opioid prescribing behavior, they need to be well designed to optimize evidence-based opioid prescribing.

Preclinical, Journal, Adverse events: Cannabinoid 1 and mu-opioid receptor agonists synergistically inhibit abdominal pain and lack side effects in mice. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2022
This combination avoided side effects (decreased oxygen saturation and colonic transit) caused by analgesic dose of morphine...Furthermore, a combination of sub-analgesic doses of µ-opioid receptor agonist and CB1R agonist markedly reduce abdominal pain without causing the side effects of high dose opioids. Thus, CB1R agonists, alone or in combination with low-dose opioids, may be a novel and safe treatment strategy for abdominal pain.

Journal: δ-Opioid receptors in primary sensory neurons tonically restrain nociceptive input in chronic pain but do not enhance morphine analgesic tolerance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2022
Our findings indicate that DORs in primary sensory neurons are critically involved in the analgesic effect of DOR agonists but not morphine-induced analgesic tolerance. Presynaptic DORs at primary afferent central terminals constitutively inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain by restraining glutamatergic input to spinal dorsal horn neurons.

Retrospective data, Journal: Post-operative opioid dosing relative to preoperative long-acting opioid dose. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2022
Presynaptic DORs at primary afferent central terminals constitutively inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain by restraining glutamatergic input to spinal dorsal horn neurons. Our results suggest that patients with a high intake of long-acting opioids may be more likely to receive PRN opioid doses that are not sufficiently adjusted to their total intake during the first 24 hours after inpatient surgery than patients with a lower intake of long-acting opiods.
