According to the National Institutes of Health, opioid misuse and addiction in the United States is a national crisis, with an economic burden upwards of $78 billion. Opioids are useful for pain management following surgery and other major procedures, but until now there have been no recommendations guiding safe use of opioids in children. Pediatric Surgeon\u00a0Lorraine Kelley-Quon, MD, MSHS<\/a>, professor of clinical surgery, led a diverse team of health care providers and advocates to establish the first such guidance. Published in\u00a0JAMA Surgery<\/a>, Kelley-Quon and her colleagues outline 20 guidelines for safer pain management in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n

Many people are aware that there\u2019s an opioid epidemic,\u201d says Kelley-Quon, \u201cbut when I talk about my work, people are surprised to hear that it impacts children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lorraine Kelley-Quon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the primary concerns is the use of opioids among teens and adolescents. Kelley-Quon cites a CDC report revealing that approximately 9 percent of teens aged 15-19 report receiving an opioid prescription in 2018. This age group is of concern because prescription medications can be used recreationally and shared with friends. In addition, research shows that death due to opioid overdose is on the rise for all age groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpioids can be very effective in pain management following pediatric procedures,\u201d she says, \u201cbut we need to work with the medical community to ensure they are used safely and judiciously.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a member of the American Pediatric Surgical Association\u2019s Outcomes and Evidence-Based Practice Committee, Kelley-Quon led an effort to develop evidence-based guidelines for best practice in opioid prescribing. Her team did an extensive review of scientific and medical publications, but the effort went far beyond a literature search. Kelley-Quon created a multidisciplinary group that included specialists in pediatric surgery, pediatric anesthesia, and addiction science, and included other key stakeholders representing nursing, physician assistants, surgery trainees, and family advocates. After pooling data from published studies, the entire group met and constructed the guidelines together.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpioid prescribing doesn\u2019t just impact what a pediatric surgeon does,\u201d says Kelley-Quon. \u201cNurses and other medical care providers are involved in pain management discussions with patients and their families, so we wanted their input as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team came up with three basic tenets, into which all the guidelines fall. First is simply a recognition that misuse of prescription opioids is a problem to be taken seriously when caring for children and adolescents. Second is to acknowledge there are many non-opioid medications that have excellent data supporting their use for children who require surgery. The team reviewed and presented those options. Finally, health care providers must educate patients and families before and after surgery about what an opioid is, what the risks are, and how they should be safely stored and disposed of.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these guidelines, we didn\u2019t want to suggest that opioids should never be used,\u201d says Kelley-Quon. \u201cInstead, we wanted to impart the idea that they need to be used in a thoughtful way.\u201d Just as health care providers and patients have come together around the idea of antibiotic stewardship\u2014using an antibiotic only when medically necessary to prevent development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria\u2014she says we should practice opioid stewardship.<\/p>\n

The publication, endorsed by the American Pediatric Surgical Association, sets the stage to begin shaping policies around prescribing opioids in pediatric medicine, but Kelley-Quon says we are not there yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are laying the groundwork,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is our hope that this work will change paradigms in pain management for children and teens by increasing surgeon awareness and facilitating family engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
