Emerging Trends in Perioperative Buprenorphine Management

Abstract

Background: Historically, there has been limited evidence and no clear consensus suggesting best practices for perioperative buprenorphine management (PBM). Previously published PBM strategies included a wide variation in dosing, complexity, and clinical decision making points. Importantly, there are limited published algorithms reporting corresponding patient outcomes data.

Purpose/hypothesis: To review the literature for newly published perioperative PBM strategies, with the aims of identifying emerging trends and assessing patient outcomes data.

Procedures/data/observations: Literature review of manuscripts published from 2020 to current containing PBM strategies.

Conclusions/applications: Pending completion of analysis, the authors will present findings of emerging trends and patient outcomes data in PBM.
