4 Intern Teaching Course What to Do When You Are Called to See a Patient with Pain July 2, 2009
5 Ms. M RN calls to report that Ms. M is having 10/10 right hip pain Acetaminophen 500mg po q6hrs prn is not working
6 Ms. M Sign-out 75 yo woman Full code Fall from standing with R hip fracture; to OR in AM for repair by Orthopedics Meds enoxaparin, acetaminophen NTD Avoid CNS active medications due to risk of delirium
7 Ms. M Go see the patient History and physical exam Think about types of pain other than physical pain Emotional pain anxiety, anger, sadness Social or interpersonal pain loneliness, family tensions Spiritual or existential pain fears about death
8 World Health Organization s Stepwise Analgesia Ladder Step Pain Drug I Mild Non-opioid (acetaminophen, NSAIDS) II Moderate Non-opioid plus weak opioid (hydrocodone, codeine, oxycodone) III Severe Non-opioid plus strong opioid (morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, etc.) AAHPM. UNIPAC Series: Hospice/Palliative Care Training for Physicians
9 Non-Opioid Analgesia Acetaminophen and/or NSAIDs can augment the pain relief provided by narcotics Caution when using combination pills acetaminophen is most common cause of acute liver failure in United States patients forget that acetaminophen is present in many OTC medications no more than 4000 mg acetaminophen/day Consider prescribing acetaminophen and/or NSAIDs separately
10 Ms. M Schedule acetaminophen 1000mg po QID (or q6hrs) Max 4000mg a day For elderly, start narcotics at half usual starting dose and follow closely Cr 2.0, liver function normal What narcotic and dose will you choose?
11 Initiating Narcotics In renal insufficiency: methadone and fentanyl optimal oxycodone and hydromorphone with caution AVOID morphine and codeine In hepatic insufficiency: fentanyl, hydromorphone, oxycodone, and methadone with caution AVOID morphine Avoid use of meperidine because of risk of seizure
12 Narcotics Avoid morphine in renal and/or liver failure
13 Initiating Narcotics If concern for prior narcotic-induced nausea give an antiemetic with the narcotic for approximately 3 days until tolerance to nausea side effect has developed Always consider prophylactic medications to prevent constipation Docusate 250 mg po bid Senna 2 tabs po qhs others
14
15 Mr. G RN calls to report that Mr. G is having 9/10 back pain Acetaminophen 1000mg PR qid and hydromorphone mg IV q4hrs are not working
16 Mr. G Sign-out 73 yo gentleman Metastatic prostate cancer on hormonal therapy; receiving XRT to spine Admitted with nausea/vomiting (thought to be partial SBO) and renal failure Meds acetaminophen, morphine, antiemetic, bisacodyl PR, IVF NTD
17 You go see Mr. G: Mr. G complains of baseline diffuse bony discomfort relieved by acetaminophen and morphine ER 60 mg po q 12hr + morphine IR two 15 mg tabs/day feels like he is not getting enough pain medication since switched from home pills to IV meds in hospital Should he continue morphine? What can we do for his pain?
18 Narcotic Conversions Morphine ER 60 mg po q 12hr + morphine IR two 15 mg tabs/day = 120 mg + 30 mg = 150 mg total/day Decrease dose by 1/3 rd to half for incomplete cross tolerance when changing narcotics 150 mg/day x 2/3 = 100 mg/day morphine (to convert to fentanyl)
19 Narcotic Conversion to Fentanyl Oral Morphine/24hr Initial Fentanyl Patch 90 mg 25 mcg/hr 180 mg 50 mcg/hr 360 mg 75 mcg/hr 100 mg/day morphine dose patches q72hrs full dose onset 12hrs
20 Narcotic Conversions Breakthrough dose = 10% of total daily dose 150 mg/day x 2/3 = 100 mg/day morphine (10% for break through = 10 mg morphine)
21 Narcotic Equianalgesic Doses Drug PO IV Morphine 30 mg 10 mg Oxycodone 20 mg --- Hydromorphone 7.5 mg 1.5 mg Hydrocodone 30 mg mg morphine po 0.5 mg hydromorphone IV 10 mg MS = X where X = 0.5 mg of hydromorphone IV 30 mg MS 1.5 mg hydromorphone IV
22 Narcotic Conversions Breakthrough dose = 10% of total daily dose Decrease total daily dose by 1/3 rd to half for incomplete cross tolerance when changing narcotics (Avoid morphine in renal and/or liver failure)
23 Narcotic Conversions Morphine ER 60 mg po q 12hr + morphine IR two 15 mg tabs/day = 120 mg + 30 mg = 150 mg total/day Decrease dose by 1/3 rd to half for incomplete cross tolerance when changing narcotics 150 mg/day x 2/3 = 100 mg/day morphine (to convert to hydromorphone)
24 Narcotic Equianalgesic Doses Drug PO IV Morphine 30 mg 10 mg Oxycodone 20 mg --- Hydromorphone 7.5 mg 1.5 mg Hydrocodone 30 mg mg morphine po 5 mg hydromorphone IV 100 mg MS = X where X = 5 mg of hydromorphone IV 30 mg MS 1.5 mg hydromorphone IV
25 Narcotic Conversions 100 mg morphine po 5 mg hydromorphone IV 5 mg hydromorphone IV/24hrs = 0.2 mg/hr PCA order 0.2 mg/hr continuous infusion hourly rate q15min prn breakthrough pain Or nurse administered IV med order 0.6 mg IV q3hrs scheduled, hold for sedation 0.5 mg IV q1hr prn breakthrough pain

27 Mr. T RN from the Medicine floor calls you on crosscover to report that Mr. T, a 25 yo male admitted last night with endocarditis, is becoming agitated, complaining of pain, and demanding METHADONE!
28 Mr. T Sign-out 25 yo gentleman Full code Longstanding heroin addiction; admitted last night with presumed endocarditis Meds vancomycin, acetaminophen NTD
29 Approach to Evaluating Patients with Opioid Withdrawal Know the signs & symptoms pupillary dilatation, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, piloerection, yawning, sneezing, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Peak heroin withdrawal hrs, lasts 7-10 d Peak methadone w/d hrs, last >14 d Ask about: other drugs the patient may be using illicitly history of methadone maintenance patient s wishes regarding detox or no detox during this trip to the hospital
30 Mr. T Patient denies other illicit drug use except for heroin I use 3 grams a day! He wants methadone says he usually gets 120 mg a day when he is in the hospital What should you do?
31 Management of Opioid W/D in Patients Not Requesting Detox Treat or prevent acute withdrawal otherwise medical condition may not be adequately managed Methadone starting dose methadone 20 mg po times 1, then 5 mg po q2-3h until symptoms resolve (max 60 mg a day) primary team can see how much methadone was used overnight and come up with qd or tid dosing regimen
32 Management of Opioid W/D in Patients Requesting Detox Treat symptoms clonidine = GI distress, diaphoresis, piloerection, muscle aches NSAIDS = muscle aches promethazine (Phenergan) = nausea hydroxyzine (Vistaril) = itching, agitation Immodium = diarrhea
33 Mr. T 10 Days Later RN calls you on crosscover to report that Mr. T is becoming agitated, complaining of pain, and demanding MORE METHADONE!

43 Ms. D RN calls to report that Ms. D is having new 6/10 suprapubic pain Acetaminophen 500 mg po q4hrs prn not helping
44 Ms. D Sign-out 41 yo woman Metastatic breast cancer to spine/brain Admitted pain control and brain XRT Meds prednisone, morphine (recently increased), acetaminophen, antiemetic NTD
45 Some Side Effects of Opioids Urinary retention Rx: Foley, decrease opioid dose, BPH meds in men Constipation Rx: senna, senna, senna, and more senna Rx: docusate, MOM, lactulose, polyethylene glycol, bisacodyl, enema Confusion Search for underlying causes other than opioids Myoclonus Reduce dose or change to a different opioid
46 Nausea and Narcotics Approximately 30% of folks have nausea with narcotics Try giving low dose narcotics with an antiemetic and then withdraw antiemetic in several days after the patient has developed tolerance to the side effect of nausea If nausea does not resolve or cannot be treated with adjuvant antiemetics, change to a different narcotic
