Detailed Description
Patients with spine surgery experience a significant amount of pain that can interfere with healing, rehabilitation and contribute to morbidity in the post-operative period.
This study will compare post-operative opioid requirement at 24 and 48 hours to determine if methadone given in small aliquots until respiratory depression can act as a self-control to determine the correct dose required.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Standard dosing of methadone
Receive 0.2 mg/kg based on ideal body weight of methadone after the intubation and before positioning.
|
Subject will receive 0.2 mg/kg based on ideal body weight of methadone after the intubation and before positioning.
|
Experimental: Aliquots of methadone titrated to apnea
Receive incremental aliquots of methadone up to 0.5 mg/Kg based on ideal body weight titrated to apnea.
Each subject will receive a 5-10 mg loading dose then aliquots of 5mg each, given at 3 to 5 minute time intervals.
The practitioner will continue to coach patient to take deep breaths.
After reaching the apnea threshold as determined by respiratory rate less than 8 breaths/min, induction of general anesthesia and intubation will proceed.

Subjects will receive incremental aliquots of methadone up to 0.5 mg/Kg based on ideal body weight titrated to apnea.
Each subject will receive a 5-10 mg loading dose then aliquots of 5mg each, given at 3 to 5 minute time intervals.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in opioid requirement for complex spine surgery patients
Time Frame: Changes from baseline (pre-op) up to 72 hours post-op
|
Titrating methadone to respiratory depression allows the patient to act as his own control determining the dose he will require, improving pain control and consequently decreasing side effects and complications.
