Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

2.3K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids01:15

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

1.2K
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Opioid Analgesics: Morphine and Other Natural Cogeners

1.2K
Opioids are a class of drugs that mimic endogenous opioid peptides and act on opioid receptors, and help in pain relief. These compounds are classified as natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Natural opioids, like morphine, codeine, and thebaine, are derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum or Papaver album) and are termed opiates. Synthetic opioids are artificial, while semi-synthetic opioids combine natural and synthetic compounds. Morphine, a prototypical opioid, possesses a...

Opioid Receptors: Overview01:22

Opioid Receptors: Overview

5.2K
Opioid receptors, including the mu (μ, MOR), delta (δ, DOR), and kappa (κ, KOR) types, belong to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors are located throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and in non-neuronal tissues such as macrophages and astrocytes. Opioid receptor ligands can be categorized into agonists or antagonists. Highly selective agonists include [d-Ala2, MePhe4, Gly(ol)5]-enkephalin or DAMGO for MOR, [D-Pen2,...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.3K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Prescriptive authority for controlled substances is subject to evolving legislation.
  • Advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) play a crucial role in pain management and opioid prescribing.
  • Understanding ARNPs' knowledge and limitations is vital for safe opioid stewardship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess knowledge gaps and prescribing limitations of Florida ARNPs concerning opioid medications.
  • To identify specific areas of deficiency in understanding federal and state opioid guidelines.
  • To evaluate ARNPs' confidence in managing opioid prescribing challenges.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted prior to statutory changes in prescriptive authority for controlled substances.
  • The research focused on advanced registered nurse practitioners in Florida.
  • The methodology involved examining knowledge and prescribing limitations related to opioids.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant knowledge gaps were identified in Florida ARNPs.
  • Deficiencies were noted in understanding federal and state opioid guidelines.
  • ARNPs demonstrated gaps in knowledge of opioid classes, dosing, risk assessment, and treatment monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Prior to legislative changes, Florida ARNPs had notable knowledge deficits in crucial areas of opioid prescribing.
  • These findings underscore the need for targeted education and support for ARNPs in managing controlled substances.
  • Addressing these gaps is essential for improving patient safety and combating the opioid crisis.
