  • Purpose: Oral naloxone is combined with oxycodone to alleviate or prevent opioid-induced constipation in cancer pain patients. However, there is still concern that oral naloxone may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms in patients on opioids. We retrospectively investigated clinical characteristics of cancer patients who experienced opioid withdrawal symptoms. Methods: We reviewed medical records of all patients who were prescribed with oral oxycodone/naloxone at a tertiary cancer center from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2016. Eligible patients were screened based on demographics, opioid and naloxone dosages, clinical manifestation and pain intensity. Results: Among a total of 1,641 patients, 10 patients were selected. Seven patients were male, and the average age was 68.1 years. The median dose of naloxone that induced withdrawal symptoms was 20 mg. Most common withdrawal symptom was shivering (seven patients) followed by cold sweating (five), and muscle twitching (five). Other symptoms included restlessness, fever, dizziness, and yawning. Pain was exacerbated from the median intensity of numeric rating scale (NRS) 3 to NRS 6. Conclusion: Opioid withdrawal symptoms may occur when switching to oral oxycodone/naloxone for cancer patients who have been treated with other strong opioids. A prospective, multicenter study on this issue should be conducted in future.

  • Purpose : This study investigates pediatric nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding iatrogenic narcotic analgesic withdrawal symptoms management (INAWSM). Methods : In this cross-sectional study, 253 pediatric nurses working at a tertiary hospital in Seoul participated. Instruments were the inventory consisting questionnaires on 35 items knowledge and 12 items attitude for INAWSM. Further, descriptive statistics, t-test, and analysis of variance were used to evaluate the nurses' knowledge and attitudes. Results : The correct answers rate of knowledge toward INAWSM was 44.9%. With respect to the pediatric nurses' attitudes, the participants scored an average value of $2.83{\pm}0.25$ out of 4 points. The factor related to the knowledge and attitude level was age, pediatric nursing experience, educational experience, and educational needs. Conclusions : Results revealed that pediatric nurses had inadequate knowledge and attitude on INAWSM despite a compulsory education. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an efficient INAWSM educational program.

  • 약물 내성 (tolerance) 및 의존성 (dependence)은 그 약물이 지니고 있는 여러 가지 약리작용과 관련되어 형성된다. 약물의 반복투여 후, 나타나는 작용이 처음의 반응 (response) 보다 감소되어 나타나는 현상 즉, 내성과, 이와는 반대로 약물반복 투여 후 나타나는 작용이 처음의 반응보다 점점 증가하는 역내성 (reverse tolerance 또는 sensitization) 측정에 있어서 약물에 따라 적절한 검색 방법을 설명한다. 의존성에 있어서 약물 섭취 결과 mood가 변하거나 도취감 또는 만족감을 일으키게 되면 그 감각을 재 경험하고 싶다는 욕구가 일어나게 되는 정신적 의존성(psychic dependence)과, 약물을 반복 투여하다가 갑자기 투여를 중단 했을때 여러가지 생리학적인 또는 행동적인 변화가 급격히 증가하여 금단증상을 나타내는 신체적 의존성 (physical dependence) 측정 방법을 제시한다. 내성과 의존성은 근본적으로 다르지만 대부분의 경우 내성이 형성되면 의존성이 형성된다. 여기서는 주로 morphine과 psychostimulants를 투여한 후 나타나는 약리작용에 대한 내성과 opioids (마약성 진통제)의 의존성 평가 방법에 대한 model을 설명하고자 한다 진통성 내성(analgesic tolerance)에 있어서 진통제의 진통력은 진통력 측정 방법(tail pinch, paw-withdrawal, tail flick, tail-withdrawal, hot plate, writhing, etc)에 따라 차이가 있기 때문에 각각의 진통제의 정합한 내성 측정 방법을 결정할 필요가 있다. 역내성 (roversetolerance)은 cocaine, amphetamine, opioids둥의 만성투여에서 일어난다. 이들 역내성을 측정하는 한 방법으로 자발운동을 측정하는데 locomotor activity cage나 tilting cage를 이용한다. 정신적 의존성(psychic dependence)은 약물 섭취 욕구를 이용한 CPP (conditioned place preference)법을 소개한다. 신체적 의존성 (physical dependence)은 opioids를 만성적으로 투여한 후 naloxone으로 precipitation하여 나타난 여러 가지 금단증상을 측정하고 몇몇 평가 model을 제시한다.
