17075 - Fast Fact Course 2 Adverse Effects of Opioids

Course Description: Opioids are commonly prescribed for patients with serious illnesses such as advanced cancer or organ failure to manage symptoms such as pain or dyspnea.  Unfortunately, adverse effects from opioids are common and it is estimated that 10-30% of patients treated with opioids do not have successful outcomes because of either excessive adverse effects, inadequate analgesia, or a combination of both.  The management of opioid adverse effects remains to be challenging for clinicians considering the paucity of robust medical studies and management guidelines to define best practices.  In this module, users can attain 1.0 hours of CME credit after successful completion of the following:
