Effectiveness of Transdermal Buprenorphine for Pain Control in the ICU After Major Surgical Procedures.
Abstract
Transdermal buprenorphine (TBUP) may be useful for postoperative pain after major surgery, when pain is expected to be severe and sustained. The objective of this study was to compare pain control and opioid consumption in critically ill postoperative patients who were treated with TBUP or not during ICU admission.
