Abstrakt: Background: Key goals during intracranial surgery are to facilitate rapid emergence and extubation for early neurologic evaluation. Longer-acting opioids are often avoided or administered at subtherapeutic doses due to their perceived risk of sedation and delayed emergence. However, inadequate analgesia and increased postoperative pain are common after intracranial surgery. In this multicenter study, we describe variability in opioid and nonopioid administration patterns in patients undergoing intracranial surgery.
Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study using the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group database. Opioid and nonopioid practice patterns in 31,217 cases undergoing intracranial surgery across 11 institutions in the United States are described.
Results: Across all 11 institutions, total median [interquartile range] oral morphine equivalents, normalized to weight and anesthesia duration was 0.17 (0.08 to 0.3) mg.kg.min-1. There was a 7-fold difference in oral morphine equivalents between the lowest (0.05 [0.02 to 0.13] mg.kg.min-1) and highest (0.36 [0.18 to 0.54] mg.kg.min-1) prescribing institutions. Patients undergoing supratentorial surgery had higher normalized oral morphine equivalents compared with those having infratentorial surgery [0.17 [0.08-0.31] vs. 0.15 [0.07-0.27] mg/kg/min-1; P<0.001); however, this difference is clinically small. Nonopioid analgesics were not administered in 20% to 96.8% of cases across institutions.
Conclusion: This study found wide variability for both opioid and nonopioid utilization at an institutional level. Future work on practitioner-level opioid and nonopioid use and its impact on outcomes after intracranial surgery should be conducted.
