ABSTRACT

Introduction: Current guidelines for pain management in addiction patients do not address acute pain care. Objective: To describe the analgesic treatment schemes and the average dose of opioid required for the control of acute pain in psychoactive substance-using patients hospitalized in a trauma department. Material and methods: A descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was carried out by reviewing the records of patients with traumatic injury and a history of substance use who were treated under a multimodal analgesia scheme. Results: 75 patients with a mean age of 32 (± 9.6) years were included. The most frequently prescribed opioid was buprenorphine in 48% (mean dose 644 µg/24h), followed by morphine in 28% (mean dose 20 mg/24h) and tramadol in 24% of patients (mean dose 195 mg/24h). There was not statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in pain control between the three groups, except that the intensity of pain in the morphine group was greater at 24 hours. Conclusion: The patients treated with buprenorphine had better pain control compared to the morphine group, although doses 40% higher than those recommended for trauma patients were required.
