Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the challenges faced by critical care providers when managing patients with opioid use disorder in the ICU. The prevalence of opioid use disorder in the US is estimated to be about 2% to 3%, with an alarming increase in opioid overdose-related deaths in recent years. The speaker highlights common scenarios in the ICU involving opioid use disorder, including acute opioid overdose, managing opioid-dependent patients after surgery or with medical issues, and acute opioid withdrawal. The mainstay of managing acute opioid toxicity is pharmacologic reversal with naloxone, but it is important to be aware of the risk of acute withdrawal and the short duration of naloxone's action. Opioid-dependent patients in the ICU require a comprehensive approach to pain management, incorporating opioid and non-opioid analgesics, as well as regional analgesia techniques. The speaker emphasizes the importance of appropriately assessing and treating pain in these patients, as well as managing their withdrawal symptoms.
