Drs. Bell and DeVine return for Part 2 of Perioperative Considerations, Management, and Process for patients on buprenorphine. We continue the “what does it mean” from the previous episode which focused on the science of buprenorphine. What happens if buprenorphine is continued in terms of pain mitigation and what happens if buprenorphine is discontinued, both in terms of analgesia but also in terms of relapse potential. To learn more about the doctors as well as keep up with current happenings follow on twitter: @echocsct or email us with questions or feedback: [email protected]. Part of Ars Longa Media Productions. All referenced articles will be listed in the show notes of Part 4 of the Perioperative Series.
