Given that chronic opioid therapy may benefit some patients with chronic pain, but that the risks of chronic opioid therapy appears to outweigh the benefits in a large proportion of patients a crucial clinical skill is the ability to safely utilize chronic opioid therapy for the group patients in chronic pain in which opioids remain effective while at the same time recognize and manage those patients for whom chronic opioid therapy has failed.
This presentation will review a proposed clinical definition of “opioid failure” developed by the SafeRx Santa Cruz Opioid Safety Coalition. Options for opioid failure management, including weaning strategies and transition to buprenorphine will be discussed.
Desired Outcomes:

Recognize the different reasons that indicate prescription opioids have failed patient.
Identify the various strategies of management options.

With California’s recent legalization of recreational cannabinoid usage the rates of use are expected to increase. This includes increase in self-administered usage during the prenatal and postpartum periods for many women seeking to control hyperemesis and pain. Studies have shown that although legalization may not increase the baseline rate of usage in the general population it can have an effect on the level of exposure of recreational users with some studies indicating more than two fold increases in concentration of cannabinoids in tested meconium samples. Increased usage and availability of cannabinoids may have significant impact on rates of preterm deliveries, low birth weight and may have longstanding negative neurodevelopmental effects on drug exposed fetuses. Providers must be prepared with evidence to screen, counsel, and manage patients with cannabinoid usage before, during and after pregnancy.
Desired Outcomes:

Understand of current legalization of cannabinoids in California and in the United States
Understand of known effects of cannabinoid usage as well as differences in mode of usage during pregnancy and lactation.
Exploration of legal ramifications of Usage in the prenatal and postpartum periods.
Exploration of the rates of usage of cannabinoids and concurrent use of other substances
Utilize Screening tools in practice
