What is Low-Dose Naltrexone in Pediatric Anesthesia about?
This letter discusses the use of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) as an adjunct therapy for pediatric chronic pain and its perioperative considerations. It emphasizes the need for careful management of opioid sensitivity and resistance in patients on LDN, recommending cessation of the medication two days prior to surgery and resuming it two days after opioid therapy ends. The authors call for more research to establish evidence-based guidelines for LDN use in pediatric patients undergoing surgery.
