Not only does intraoperative opioid waste have serious environmental, regulatory, and financial costs, but it can also threaten the quality of patient care and safety. Fortunately, implementing strategies like ready-to-administer syringes with small doses can improve surgical protocols, patient outcomes, and overall healthcare efficiency. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to discuss how we can address and prevent the critical impacts of opioid waste is Dr. John Hertig, Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice and Department Chair at Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
