Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will look at the effects of fentanyl shortage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. The opioid shortage, specifically hydromorphone and fentanyl, caused a decrease in administration of opioid analgesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy intraoperatively.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of this study is to look at the clinical impact of the drug shortage of intravenous (IV) opioids from 2016 to 2018. IV opioids are used in the hospital setting ranging from the Emergency Department to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to the Operating room. This study will look at the usage of IV opioids in the operating room setting and determine how practice has change in the setting of drug shortage. The study team hypothesizes that the average monthly consumption of fentanyl and hydrophone would have been decreased for laparoscopic cholecystectomy intraoperatively during the opioid shortage period as compared to before the shortage period.
