Description

Although there has been less emphasis on responsible prescribing of opioids in children, with newly developed legal and regulatory efforts focused almost exclusively on adults, it remains important for pediatric providers to be aware of the heightened risk for substance misuse in adolescents, and the appropriate use of opioids in a pediatric population.

In this podcast, Daniel Millspaugh, MD, anesthesiologist and Director of the Comprehensive Pain Management and Opioid Stewardship programs at Children's Mercy Kansas City, discusses the current opioid-related public health emergency, as well as the evolving regulatory and agency response, and appropriate actions by medical providers.
