While opioids can be an important part of pain management after surgery, limiting their use, including lowering dosages, is important since they can cause major side effects, lead to addiction, and cause potentially deadly overdoses.

Gatch Professor of Surgery and chief of the Division of General Surgery at the Indiana University School of Medicine, will discuss overall pain control in surgical patients and how it is evolving. 

Objectives:

At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Interpret the status of the opioid epidemic.
• Describe the opioid dependence connection with surgery.
• Explain regulatory and health policy changes.
• Discuss discipline consensus on opioid prescribing.
• Explain the adoption of a multi-modal pain regimen.
• Describe the care of opioid-tolerant patients.
