Opioids have had a wide range of uses in medicine throughout history. However, they have recently been scrutinized due to the opioid crisis and epidemic plaguing the world, particularly in the USA. Opioids remain essential in various medical fields, particularly in pain management as anesthesia adjuncts or primary agents during surgery and postoperative care. Opioids are an essential component of many aspects of anesthesia and surgical pain management. The primary route of administration for an opioid anesthetic is intravenous with either repeat injections or a continuous infusion. This activity reviews pharmacology, adverse event profiles, eligible patient populations, contraindications, and monitoring of opioid anesthesia and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing opioid anesthesia in light of the opioid crisis.
