CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain

The CDC has just released an updated clinical practice guideline for prescribing Opioids for Pain. Although, the guideline is for patients over 18 years of age, pediatric practitioners often consult adult guidelines to guide their own practice. The guideline addresses the following four areas: 1) determining whether or not to initiate opioids for pain, 2) selecting opioids and determining opioid dosages, 3) deciding duration of initial opioid prescription and conducting follow-up, and 4) assessing risk and addressing potential harms of opioid use.

Elimination of Postoperative Narcotics in Infant Robotic Pyeloplasty

Meier et all has recently published a case series looking at robotic pyeloplasty in the pediatiric population utilizing a pathway that included caudal single injection block, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Patients were not given an opioid prescription at discharge and none were seen within the 30 day postoperative period due to pain.
