Abstract

There are several reasons practitioners prescribe opioids to pregnant women, including back pain, abdominal pain, migraine, joint pain, fibromyalgia.1 The most frequently prescribed opioids are hydrocodone, codeine, oxycodone, propoxyphene, tramadol, meperidine, hydromorphone, morphine, fentanyl, buprenorphine, methadone, pentazocine, tapentadol, and oxymorphone.1 Managing opioid dependent women’s analgesic levels during the peripartum period can be challenging for the anesthesia team.
