Retrospective Analysis of Post-Operative Opioid Prescribing after Pediatric Surgeries
-
- STATUS
- Not Recruiting
Summary
Prescription opioids are a cornerstone in pediatric postoperative pain management, and are often prescribed in excess. This study will focus on the preoperative prescription practices in pediatric patients undergoing surgical procedures. Surgeries of interest include circumcision, inguinal surgeries, distal hypospadias, and all laparoscopic/robotic surgeries. Few broad guidelines are readily available for postoperative opioid prescribing among children; however, those that do exist have been adapted from adults6 and do not contain specific recommendations as to frequency and quantity. The aim of this study is to examine current opioid prescribing practices in pediatric patients undergoing surgery. This will be used to later develop and implement provider recommendations for when to prescribe opioid pain medications and the quantity to prescribe with the goal of reducing excess opioid prescribing among this population.
