Intravenous morphine equivalents administered during the first postoperative day to patients who received SL-BUP according to stage of perioperative care. Plots separately show data for patients who underwent surgical procedures with general anesthesia only vs combined general/regional anesthesia. Intraoperative and postoperative IV-MEq (24 h after discharge from recovery room) were comparable between two anesthetic techniques. Box indicates interquartile range; middle line, median; diamond, mean; error bars, 1.5× interquartile range; open circles, outliers. IV indicates intravenous; IV-MEq, intravenous morphine equivalent; PACU, post-anesthesia care unit; SL-BUP, sublingual formulation of buprenorphine and naloxone (Suboxone)
