Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids01:15

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

360
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

311
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...

Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

694
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...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

19
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

140
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Pain management
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Objective data on postoperative opioid use following hallux valgus surgery is limited.
  • Effective management of postoperative pain remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify narcotic consumption after hallux valgus surgery.
  • To identify factors predicting increased opioid use.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection including questionnaires and operative records.
  • Recording of prescribed versus consumed opioid pills at 2, 6, and 12 weeks postoperatively.
  • Logistic regression analysis to determine consumption patterns and correlations.

Main Results:

  • Average consumption was 20 pills at 2 weeks and 23 pills at 12 weeks postoperatively.
  • Patient body mass index (BMI) correlated with increased opioid use at the 2-week mark.

Conclusions:

  • Hallux valgus patients consumed 57.5% of prescribed opioid pills (23 out of 40) by 12 weeks.
  • Given the opioid epidemic, surgeons should emphasize nonopioid pain management strategies.
