About

The methods of detoxification under general anesthesia have been criticized because of limited data on safety and long-term follow-up. Premedication with buprenorphine has been advocated to improve safety. In current study we want to evaluate the importance of buprenorphine preparation in rapid opioid detoxification process, under general anesthesia.
