Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the concept of "microinduction" or "low-dose ramp" as a method of transitioning patients onto buprenorphine from other opioids. The speaker shares their experience using a buprenorphine dose pack they developed, gradually increasing the buprenorphine dose over a week while the patient continues to use other opioids. The challenges in coordinating with methadone maintenance programs and the need for further research on the optimal duration and dosing of microinduction are also mentioned. The implications for perioperative management and the use of different buprenorphine formulations are discussed. The importance of individualized approaches and establishing relationships with local pharmacies is emphasized.<br /><br />No credits are granted in the provided summary.
