Inspired by this article, here’s my first tweetorial on the Perioperative Care of Patients on Bupeprenorphine. This is an important topic for all surgeons, particularly trauma surgeons, as our patients may have a high rate of Opioid Use Disorder. journalofhospitalmedicine.com/jhospmed/artic… 1. Bupenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor. Despite being a partial agonist, it has an extremely high affinity for the receptor and is 25-50x stronger than morphine.
