Killing the Pain: Epidemiology of Opioid Use Disorder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation focused on the epidemiology of opioid use disorder (OUD), particularly in the ICU setting. It highlighted the rising incidence of opioid-related fatalities, exacerbated by COVID-19, with fentanyl playing a significant role. The talk also highlighted challenges in diagnosing OUD due to discrepancies between DSM and ICD codes, and emphasized the need for harm reduction strategies, including naloxone distribution and careful opioid prescribing. The speaker also discussed how ICU care might inadvertently contribute to OUD and stressed the importance of optimizing transitions of care to mitigate unnecessary opioid exposure.
