Preventing opioid prescription after major surgery: A scoping literature review on opioid-free postoperative analgesia
FY 2017-18
Summary
Canada is living a crisis of opioid use and abuse fueled by increased prescriptions by doctors. At least 2,458 opioid-related deaths occurred across Canada in 2016, with an average of eight people dying every day. People often receive their first opioid prescription to treat pain after surgery and many misuse the drug and become addicted. For this reason, the first prescription for opioids to treat post-surgery pain needs to be prevented using opioid-free analgesia (i.e. pain treatment using only non-opioid drugs). This review will identify previous studies evaluating the use of opioid-free analgesia after major surgery (those conducted in a hospital operating theater), describe the characteristics of these studies and help the planning of future research on this topic. This work is an essential first step to reduce the use of opioids after surgery and prevent more people from becoming addicted in the future.

Abstract
Canada is living a crisis of opioid use and abuse fueled by increased prescriptions by doctors. At least 2,458 opioid-related deaths occurred across Canada in 2016, with an average of eight people dying every day. People often receive their first opioid prescription to treat pain after surgery and many misuse the drug and become addicted. For this reason, the first prescription for opioids to treat post-surgery pain needs to be prevented using opioid-free analgesia (i.e. pain treatment using only non-opioid drugs). This review will identify previous studies evaluating the use of opioid-free analgesia after major surgery (those conducted in a hospital operating theater), describe the characteristics of these studies and help the planning of future research on this topic. This work is an essential first step to reduce the use of opioids after surgery and prevent more people from becoming addicted in the future.
