“Everyone is aware of the opioid crisis outside of hospital, tragic opioid crisis, but we’ve had one on the wards for a long time”.

This piece focuses on opioid toxicity, depth of anaesthesia, patient monitoring and pain management.

“We’ve all had situations where we give too much or too little”; either can be serious concerns, “it’s essential we get the analgesia right”.

Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with Frank Overdyk, Professor of Anaesthesiology, Charleston, South Carolina.
