Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate if a standardized weaning protocol for methadone and lorazepam could shorten the weaning duration and hospital stays for patients on prolonged opioid and benzodiazepine infusions.
  • The research compared two groups of patients: 75 before the protocol implementation and 102 after it, focusing on their weaning times based on how long they had been receiving the medication.
  • Results showed significant reductions in the number of days patients spent on methadone and lorazepam for specific durations of infusion after the new protocol was introduced, without impacting hospital stays or causing more adverse events.
