Post-operative opioid dosing relative to preoperative long-acting opioid dose

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that patients with a high intake of long-acting opioids may be more likely to receive PRN opioid doses that are not sufficiently adjusted to their total intake during the first 24 hours after inpatient surgery than patients with a lower intake of long-acting opiods.FUNDING: none.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was approved by the AUH Ethical Committee and by the Danish Data Protection Agency (ID 1-16-02-341-21).PMID:35959832
