The Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) aims to advance the quality of anesthesia care and the alleviation of pain-related conditions in children.
Pediatric Pain Letter (PPL) provides free, open-access, peer-reviewed commentaries on pain in infants, children and adolescents, published by IASP’s SIG on Pain in Childhood. PPL is published online in February, June, and October. Follow this link to read their latest letter: http://ppl.childpain.org/Pediatric Pain Letter (PPL)
The DEA would like to ask your assistance in letting your patients know about the opportunity to dispose of unwanted, unused medications this Saturday, October 23, 2021 from 10am-2pm, and they can go to DEA.gov to find a location near their home.
The DEA thanks you for your support!
*Please note that that National Take Back Day disposal is for end user medication, not for practitioner inventory*
In order to amplify and learn from award winning research by our membership, we will be sharing posters from the 2021 SPPM meeting. This month, we have chosen a poster by Packiasabathy et al. on multi-dose methadone use in children undergoing spine fusions.
A novel perioperative multi-dose methadone-based multi-modal analgesic strategy achieves safe blood methadone levels, enabling opioid sparing sustained analgesia with no respiratory depression in children undergoing spine fusions
