Update on Opioid Addiction for Perioperative and Critical Unit Care: Anaesthesiologists Perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Addiction Medicine and Therapeutic Science - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2

Drug addiction remains a challenge in perioperative management for a surgical procedure for anaesthesiologists. Anesthesiologists are increasingly encountering patients with current or previous history of drug abuse in their day-to-day practice, both in the ED (emergency department) or ICU (intensive care unit) and the OR (operating room) [1].
