Abstract
Although no psychic, I can read the writing on the walls. Findings from large databases that focus on complications, initiatives to improve patient safety, and changing patient demographics are aligning to compel regulatory bodies to develop guidelines or mandates that will require continuous monitoring of oxygenation and ventilation in patients given neuraxial or parenteral opioids for postoperative pain. At the same time, technological advances will enable this potential change in practice standards.
