Unpredictable absorption of oral opioid medications in a quadriplegic patient with chronic enterocutaneous fistulas.

ABSTRACT Although there is an abundance of literature on the acute management of enterocutaneous fistulas, there is a paucity of data on the chronic management of enterocutaneous fistulas. Their impact on oral pharmacotherapy, including their effect on the bioavailability of oral medications, is poorly understood. This case describes a 23-year-old quadriplegic male with a complex history of multiple abdominal surgeries presented with three persistent enterocutaneous fistulas. Diazepam and furosemide were among the patient’s oral medications and had sufficient bioavailability to show efficacy on anxiety and pedal edema, respectively. Conversely, oral oxycodone and methadone were ineffective in controlling chronic pain despite high doses and aggressive titration. Due to inadequate pain control, the patient supplemented opioid medications with high doses of lorazepam and diazepam to augment psychological comfort. A trial of subcutaneous morphine successfully produced immediate analgesia, causing a marked reduction in benzodiazepine use. Enterocutaneous fistulas may reduce the bioavailability of oral medications to various degrees depending upon the medication. Further research is needed to elucidate the effect chronic enterocutaneous fistulas have on the bioavailability of oral medications. It is therefore important for clinicians to question the bioavailability of medications in the setting of enterocutaneous fistulas and poor clinical response.

Question by julygirl75038: Which person is dead? (For radio trivia)?
1. Betty Ford (Wife of former US president Gerald Ford, founded “The Betty Ford Center” for the treatment of alcoholism)

2. Joe Garagiola (Former catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, “Today Show” host, TV game show host, commentator)

3. Rex Reed (Film critic)

4. Bob Dole (Longtime US senator from Kansas, presidential candidate in 1996)
I tried Rex Reed for the radio trivia…..it was the incorrect answer…he’s still alive. Joe G was the answer for the radio trivia……even though he is still alive.
I checked the site www.deadoralive.com and it says that all of them are alive….so I guess this was an invalid question on the radio stations.

What are the Types of Alcohol Rehab Facilities Out There?

Rehab Centers can vary from outpatient counseling to inpatient rehab to residential care. The underlying philosophies at each type of facility can also vary, from those offered by Christians, such as the twelve step program, to psychiatric facilities to hospital programs. Some alcohol rehab treatment programs even fall into more than one of these philosophical backgrounds. The important thing is that you determine which program fits with your life goals.

Inpatient rehab centers are a place you go to leave your normal routine while you learn how to live a drug free routine. You won’t have alcohol available to you, so you will, while you’re in the facility anyways, be sober. You typically check into an inpatient alcohol rehab facility for 4 to 7 weeks.
