ADE and Harm Collaborative: Reducing ADEs and harm associated with opioids - Safer post-operative pain management March 21, 2013
Agenda, March 21, 2013 Welcome Collaborative education overview Post-operative Pain Management: Challenges and New Directions T.J. Gan, M.D., MHS, F.R.C.A FFARCS(I) Professor and Vice Chair for Clinical Research, Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University Medical Center Q & A Monthly Progress Reports Next Steps 2 PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL 2012 PREMIER INC.
Collaborative Objectives Safer post-operative pain management that reduces both ADEs and Harm Address three focus areas: Identification (screening patients for risk)»webinar 1 and 2 Standardization of monitoring post-operative patients on opioids (tools/technology/processes)»webinar 3 and 4 Education and communication (at transitions of care and discharge)»webinar 5 and 6 3 PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL 2012 PREMIER INC.
What do we want to accomplish? Goal: To reduce ADEs and Harm associated with opioids use among surgical inpatients by implementing evidence-based strategies and processes to make pain management safer By the end of 2013, reduce opioid related ADEs and Harm by 40% compared to 2010 For pilot population, by 6.30.2013: 100% elective surgery patients screened preoperatively for OSA and opioid tolerance 100% elective surgery patients pain assessed using a standardized tool 100% elective surgery patients discharged to home on an opioid will have documentation of written/verbal discharge instructions to include: the name, purpose, action, side effects, monitoring and what to do if this happens for the opioid discharge medication. 4 PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL 2012 PREMIER INC.
Focus 2: Safe communication and monitoring during the perioperative period A standardized hand-off/transition communication process is in place for all patients receiving opioids, which includes, at minimum: 1) history of snoring, obesity or OSA and 2) drug and dose history for previous shift; Standardization of pain assessment tools for patients on opioids post-operatively house-wide; Continuous oximetry is used in all post-operative patients receiving IV narcotics/ opioids; and, Continuous capnography is used on all post-operative patients receiving supplemental oxygen and receiving IV narcotics/opioids, epidural, or PCA (patient controlled analgesia) 5 PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL 2012 PREMIER INC.

The Severity of Post-Operative Pain is Associated With Development of Chronic Pain In a long term evaluation of thoracotomy patients (N=149), Those who developed chronic postthoracotomy pain syndrome were: Those who experienced severe acute pain: 67% vs 38% (P = 0.0001) Those who experienced a prolonged duration (1month) of severe acute pain (P = 0.02) *Chronic pain assessed 6 months to 3.5 years post-surgery Pluijms et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. 2006;50:804-808.
Patient s Perspectives on Hospital Pain Management The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey is the first national, standardized, publicly reported survey measuring and comparing patients perceptions of their hospital experiences In two 1-year, nationwide HCAHPS surveys of 3765 reporting hospitals conducted in 2008 and 2009, pain management received an average score of 68 (out of a possible 100), revealing room for improvement in pain management Results of the HCAHPS will soon be one of the measures used to calculate institutional incentive payments

Opioids Main Strong Analgesic Bind to opioid receptors in spinal cord, brainstem and limbic cortex Good Efficacy: dose dependent pain relief with no ceiling effect Good Safety Profile: No cardiovascular, hepatic or renal effects Multiple agents: Morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, sufentanil, oxycodone, oxymorphone Multiple delivery systems: oral, parenteral, transdermal, epidural, spinal
Side Effects Postsurgery Up to Two Weeks
Opioid Analgesic Monotherapy
Respiratory Depression and Cardiac Arrest With Morphine is Often Unpredictable
Morphine or Incision Length Correlation With Bowel Function Return? Colectomy patients (40) Primarily left colon and rectal procedures Return of bowel function? Correlation between morphine PCA dose and first bowel sounds (P = 0.001), flatus (P = 0.003), and first bowel movement (shown; P = 0.002) No correlation between incision length and morphine dose PCA = patient-controlled analgesia.

Recent Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert Reinforces the Severity of the Opioid Problem Opioid analgesics rank among the drugs most frequently associated with adverse drug events A number of safety measures, including education and monitoring, may reduce the risks of opioid-related adverse events Key patients warrant multimodal opioid sparing approaches; including non-opioid pain medications Patients at the Highest Risk for Oversedation and Respiratory Depression Sleep apnea or sleep disorder Morbid obesity Snoring Older age No recent opioid use Post-surgery, especially after upper abdominal or thoracic surgery Increased opioid dose requirement Longer time receiving general anesthesia during surgery Concomitant use of other sedating drugs Smoker

What are we trying to achieve? Effective and consistent analgesia Minimal adverse events Patient satisfaction
Balancing the imperatives
Multimodal or balanced analgesia doses of each analgesic Improved antinociception due to synergistic/ additive effects May severity of side effects of each drug Kehlet H, et al. Anesth Analg 1993;77:1048 56 Playford RJ, et al. Digestion 1991;49:198 203

A Multimodal Approach Addresses the Complex Nature of Pain Transmission
Anesthesiology Whenever possible, anesthesiologists should employ multimodal pain management therapy. Unless contraindicated, all patients should receive an around-the-clock regimen of NSAIDs, coxibs, or acetaminophen. ASA Task Force on Acute Pain Management. Anesthesiology. 2012;116:248 73
Adjunctive Analgesics NSAIDs and COX-2 selective inhibitors (coxibs) Acetaminophen Local anesthetics Ketamine Gabapentin / pregabalin Clonidine / dexmedetomidine Magnesium, neostigmine, adenosine, naloxone Non pharmacological techniques

Conclusions Pain is still poorly managed Acute pain can lead to long-term chronic pain Opioid analgesics, while effective, can result in significant side effects Multimodal analgesic regimen improves both shortand long-term pain management Moving from opioid based to opioid sparing regimen
