Attending and Resident Surgeon Perspectives and Prescribing Practices of Pain Medication During the Opioid Epidemic

Jennifer E. Baker et al.

Summary: The study found that attending surgeons were more likely to discuss postoperative opioids with patients and potential opioid abuse compared to resident surgeons. Surgeons and trainees feel that surgeons have contributed to the opioid epidemic, but there is a lack of consensus on the adequacy of formal education on opioid prescribing.

Resident Opioid Prescribing Habits Do Not Reflect Best Practices in Post-Operative Pain Management: An Assessment of the Knowledge and Education Gap

Victoria Huynh et al.

Summary: The study evaluated deficiencies in knowledge and education in opioid prescribing among surgical residents, revealing that residents felt more confident in opioid side effects but less so in pharmacokinetics and proper disposal. Additionally, residents prescribed significantly more opioids than recommended, highlighting the need for enhanced education on opioid prescribing for medical students and residents.

The Clinical Effects of Abdominal Binder on Abdominal Surgery: A Meta-analysis

Nanhui Jiang et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis included 10 randomized controlled trials and found that abdominal binder can promote recovery after abdominal surgeries by improving mobility, reducing pain, and alleviating postoperative distress. Further well-designed clinical trials with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm its clinical value.

Optimizing opioid prescriptions after laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy

Adina E. Feinberg et al.

Summary: The study found that patients undergoing LA and LC surgeries are often prescribed excessive opioids, leading to a risk of opioid misuse. By implementing a standardized prescription, it was effective in reducing the quantity of opioids prescribed and consumed without affecting patient satisfaction with the analgesic effect.

Implementing ERAS: how we achieved success within an anesthesia department

Dan B. Ellis et al.

Summary: The study retrospectively reviewed records of 2570 patients who underwent hysterectomy between October 2016 and March 2020 to determine adherence to the anesthesia bundle of the ERAS Hysterectomy pathway. Increased adherence to the four elements of the anesthesia bundle was achieved during the intervention period, and compliance with the pathway was sustained in the post-intervention period without additional actions. Implementing the anesthesia bundle of an ERAS pathway in a large anesthesia group with diverse providers was successfully accomplished using an intense intervention approach based on implementation science.
