    Author: Harrison TK, Kornfeld H, Aggarwal AK, Lembke A.
    Journal: Anesthesiol Clin; 2018 Sep; 36(3):345-359. PubMed ID: 30092933.
    Abstract:
    As part of a national effort to combat the current US opioid epidemic, use of currently Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for the treatment of opioid use disorder/opioid addiction (buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone) is on the rise. To provide optimal pain control and minimize the risk of relapse and overdose, providers need to have an in-depth understanding of how to manage these medications in the perioperative setting. This article reviews key principles and discusses perioperative considerations for patients with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone.
