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...

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

Opioid Receptors: Overview01:22

Opioid Receptors: Overview

4.7K
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,...

Common Ion Effect03:24

Common Ion Effect

47.1K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Châtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Postoperative opioid prescribing shows significant variability, with patients using only 27% of prescribed amounts. Few patients received crucial disposal instructions, highlighting a need for improved pain management strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pharmacology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Prescription opioid deaths are a growing public health crisis in the US.
  • Postoperative opioid prescriptions contribute significantly to community opioid availability and misuse.
  • Understanding surgical opioid prescribing and use is vital for evidence-based practice development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze opioid prescribing patterns in the postoperative setting.
  • To determine the quantity of opioids prescribed and actually used by patients after surgery.
  • To assess the provision of patient instructions regarding opioid disposal and non-opioid pain management alternatives.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of medical records (n=10,112) from July 2015 to June 2016.
  • Prospective data collection via telephone questionnaires and medical records (n=539) from July 2016 to February 2017.
  • Quantification of prescribed and used opioids in morphine milligram equivalents (MME).

Main Results:

  • 76% of patients in the retrospective group and 92% in the prospective group received postoperative opioids.
  • Median opioid use was 27% of the prescribed amount (24 MME), with wide interquartile ranges.
  • Only 18% of patients received disposal instructions, contrasting with 84% receiving non-opioid strategy information.

Conclusions:

  • Postoperative opioid use averages 27% of prescribed quantities, indicating significant overprescribing.
  • Inadequate patient education on safe opioid disposal poses a public health risk.
  • Variability in prescribing and use necessitates further investigation into underlying factors and interventions.
