Patients randomized to placebo withdrawal compared with
methadone or buprenorphine maintenance treatment are 2
times to 4 times more likely to be dead at a year
Methadone
bull Full mu opioid receptor agonist
bull Has NMDA antagonist activity
bull Hepatic metabolism through cytochrome P450 system
bull Toxic dose difficult to predict
bull Has been associated with sudden cardiac death
42
Methadone
bull Establish indication for methadone therapy
bull Confirm patients indication and home dose with methadone prescriber
bull Continue through perioperative and postoperative periods
bull Manage acute pain with immediate-release opioids
bull If unable to take oral dose given IV methadone
43
44

Partial activation
bull ORL-1 receptor antagonist
bull Kappa receptor antagonist
46
Buprenorphine
Preoperative
bull Continue daily dose
bull Document buprenorphine providerrsquos contact information
Day of Surgery
bull Usual daily dose
bull Plan for multimodal pain management
47
Buprenorphine perioperative use

48
49

54
55

67
Dexmedetomidine
bull a2-adrenergic receptor agonist
bull Sedative anxiolytic
bull Sympatholytic
bull Analgesic
bull Decreases pain intensity
bull Reduce the need for opioids

Methadone
bull Full mu opioid receptor agonist
bull Has NMDA antagonist activity
bull Hepatic metabolism through cytochrome P450 system

bull Has been associated with sudden cardiac death
42
Methadone
bull Establish indication for methadone therapy

bull Continue through perioperative and postoperative periods
bull Manage acute pain with immediate-release opioids
bull If unable to take oral dose given IV methadone

bull Oral naltrexone should be discontinued 5 half-lives preoperatively
bull XR-NXTmdashlittle guidance

Key points
bull Buprenorphine and methadone for the treatment of opioid use disorder should be continued in the perioperative period for most patients
bull Oral naltrexone should be discontinued 2 days before surgery and resumed once additional opioids are no longer needed

Naltrexone perioperative use
bull Close coordination with the patient and prescribing physician
bull Oral naltrexone should be discontinued 5 half-lives preoperatively
bull XR-NXTmdashlittle guidance
Complete lack of analgesia to opioids in the first 2 weeks
Successful pain management has been reported starting in the 4th week
Close monitoring may be required however if patients receive opioids postoperatively
bull Restarting naltrexone requires patients to be free of opioids to avoid acute withdrawal
54
55
Key points
bull Buprenorphine and methadone for the treatment of opioid use disorder should be continued in the perioperative period for most patients
bull Oral naltrexone should be discontinued 2 days before surgery and resumed once additional opioids are no longer needed
bull Extended-release injectable naltrexone is active for 28 days with peak at 7 days
bull Multimodal pain management is critical for patients on chronic opioid therapy
