Intended Audience: General surgeons, subspecialty surgeons, medical-specialty physicians, NPs/PAs who care for surgical patients, podiatrists, nurses, and pharmacists
Acute pain is experienced by up to 80% of patients undergoing surgery and can result in significant clinical and economic consequences, including increased morbidity, psychological concerns, and the development of chronic pain. While opioids have been one of the most prescribed classes of drugs for the treatment of acute pain, current recommendations suggest limiting their use due to adverse events, risk of addiction, and often suboptimal efficacy.
With the emergence of several innovative non-opioid therapies, care teams must be prepared to translate new evidence into practice to optimize acute pain outcomes.
In this 1.0-hour live, national webinar, pain management experts will discuss:
- Unmet needs in acute pain management
- The latest evidence on current and emerging non-opioid therapies
- Patient-centered strategies in the development of multimodal care plans
- Audience questions during our Ask the Expert Live Q&A.
