Abstract

  • Opioid abuse has been devastating communities across the United States, with
    overdose deaths now reaching epidemic proportions (Centers for Disease Control, 2017).
    The majority of chronic opioid dependence in the country has resulted from legal opioid
    prescriptions, initially prescribed to treat acute perioperative pain (Sun, Darnell, &
    Mackey, 2016). Anesthesia providers are in a unique position to provide solutions to the
    overuse of opioids perioperatively, while still maintaining adequate analgesia. Opioid
    monotherapy is currently the treatment of choice for perioperative analgesia, despite the
    side effects and potential for abuse of opioid medications. Opioid-minimizing,
    multimodal analgesic techniques have been shown to decrease the negative side effects of
    opioids while maintaining adequate analgesia. This project was an educational
    intervention that aimed to increase knowledge among Certified Registered Nurse
    Anesthetists (CRNAs) in Indiana regarding the opioid epidemic and anesthetic techniques
    to decrease opioid use perioperatively.
