Abstract
Anesthesia providers tailor intraoperative management of patients to their specific needs when maintaining amnesia and analgesia throughout surgical procedures. However, providers are challenged to meet the needs of patients in active recovery for a substance use disorder, specifically opioids. An evidence-based, standardized guideline may be critical to assist anesthesia providers caring for patients with substance use disorder. Critical actions might avoid adverse effects of medications and anesthetics and prevent patients’ relapse of substance use. This doctoral project created an evidence-based guideline for anesthesia providers that is intended to prevent harm to patients undergoing surgery in recovery for an opioid-use disorder.
