Detailed Summary
Increasingly, elderly patients undergo anesthesia and surgery. Methadone is a great opioid for perioperative pain management, however, to date there are no pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies that asses a methadone dose adjustment in the elderly patient. The present study is aimed to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic age-related changes of methadone in the adult population and further to design reference dosing protocols for intraoperative methadone use according to patient age.
