Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effects of an opioid minimization protocol on opioid use following kidney transplant, focusing on reducing reliance on opioids through multimodal pain management techniques.
- Results showed a significant reduction in inpatient opioid use and opioid prescribing at discharge, particularly among patients who received an ultrasound-guided TAP block, but improvements were also noted in those who did not receive it.
- No adverse effects were observed in terms of pain scores, readmission rates, surgery returns, or hospital stays, suggesting that the new protocol effectively managed pain without increasing risks.
