CELESTIN B - Yes, You Can Do Opioid-Sparing Surgery
As the nationwide opioid epidemic has reached
crisis proportions, non-narcotic approaches to
managing post-operative pain are taking hold in
surgical facilities across the country to prevent the
risk of addiction to painkillers. In this interactive
session, our panel of physicians will discuss
opioid-sparing techniques and protocols, followed by a question-and-answer period so you
can take home strategies to help your doctors reduce or eliminate opioid prescriptions —
and educate your patients who are accustomed to managing pain with opioids.
