Study Summary

This study compares two methods of dosing methadone for complex spine cases

Primary Outcome

The milligram morphine equivalence (MME) dose was computed for each patient in each 24 hour period using IV (intravenous) administration and by mouth (PO). The outcome measure is defined as the difference between 24 hour periods in the cumulative morphine milligram equivalence dose across both IV (intravenous) administration and by mouth (PO). The difference was calculated by subtracting the MME dose value at the later time point minus the MME value at the earlier time point (e.g., value at 24 h

Interventions

  • DRUG Standard dosing of methadone
  • DRUG Aliquots of methadone titrated to apnea
