Anesthetic implications
Preoperative optimization
Patients with opioid use disorder may be on suboxone (buprenorphine-suboxone) as part of an opioid wean plan. Suboxone is a mixed partial agonist-antagonist which is used to prevent symptoms of opiate withdrawal while slowly titrating off other opioid medications.
The dose of suboxone has implications for the risk of opioid tolerance and increased post-operative pain.
