Abstract

Drug testing is used in the perioperative setting, chronic pain clinic, and the workplace. One to two percent of anesthesia residents have documented evidence of substance abuse. The relapse rate of abuse among residents is extremely high. Detection of these drugs is most often done by an initial screening immunoassay and confirmation by more sophisticated gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques. Illicit drugs may be grouped into opioids, barbiturates, cocaine, benzodiazepines, ephedrine groups, cannabinoids, and hallucinogenic drugs. Each specific drug has unique anesthetic implications in the perioperative period.
