About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical titled "Narcotic Withdrawal Syndrome Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome” by Henrietta S. Bada, MD, MPH.

This medical is about Narcotic withdrawal syndrome, also known as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a condition that occurs in newborns who have been exposed to addictive substances, such as opioids, during pregnancy.

When a pregnant woman uses opioids or other addictive substances, these drugs can cross the placenta and enter the babys bloodstream. The baby becomes dependent on the drug and experiences withdrawal symptoms after birth when the drug is no longer available.

Symptoms of NAS can include irritability, high-pitched crying, tremors, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever, and poor feeding. These symptoms can vary in severity depending on the type of drug used, the amount used, and the length of time the baby was exposed to the drug in utero.

Treatment for NAS may include medication to ease withdrawal symptoms, such as methadone or morphine, and supportive care, such as providing a quiet and dark environment, swaddling the baby, and offering small, frequent feedings.

It is important for pregnant women who are using opioids or other addictive substances to seek medical help to manage their addiction and reduce the risk of NAS in their babies.

Slide 20-

Drug Exposure: Preterm versus Term Preterm infants may exhibit later and less severe symptoms Less immature CNS Shorter duration of exposure Scores of withdrawal may be related to prematurity (e.g. respiratory signs, poor feeding, etc)
Slide 21-

Withdrawal Versus Drug Effects CNS manifestations such as hypertonia, irritability, shrill cry, myoclonic jerks, seizures, especially in opiate exposure These manifestations may be noted with withdrawal Opiates, cocaine, and other drugs have also been demonstrated to affect brain development (prominent feature small head circumference).

Slide 41-

Initiation of Pharmacologic Treatment Variation in threshold scores: A score greater than 7 Three scores more than 8 A score above 9 A score above 10 A score greater than 12
Slide 42-

Neonatal Narcotic Withdrawal Syndrome Pharmacologic Treatment Must be individualized Based on severity Agents: morphine, paregoric, opium, clonidine, phenobarbital, chlorpromazine, diazepam, methadone
Slide 43-

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (Pharmacologic Treatment) Old Drugs: Tincture of opium (10mg/mL). Contains narcotic alkaloids including codeine and morphine: concentration of morphine may vary with each administration; diluted with ethanol Paregoric or camphorated tincture of opium (contains anhydrous morphine, 0.4 mg/mL): Use declined because of potential side effects (contains isoquinolone derivative (anti-spasmodic); toxic compounds such as camphor; ethanol 44-46%, anise oil, benzoic acid, with alcohol – benzyl alcohol (severe acidosis and hypotension), glycerin (pulmonary edema).
Slide 44-

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (Pharmacologic Treatment) Phenobarbital: loading dose of 10 – 20mg/kg/24 hours Maintenance: 2-8mg/kg/day; taper by 10% to 20% per day. Monitor level 24-48 hours after initiation of therapy. Clonidine: non-narcotic that targets the α2 adrenergic hyperactivity; at low doses, stimulates presynaptic adrenergic receptors, thereby increasing the amount of norepinephrine released into the synapse and lowering firing rate of adrenergic neurons. 0.5 to 1.0 μg/kg initial single dose and maintenance of 3 – 5 μg/kg/day divided every 4 to 6 hours
Slide 45-

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (Pharmacologic Treatment) Diazepam (Valium): 1 – 2 mg/kg every 8 hours. Multiple concerns: poor sucking and increased sedation, late-onset seizures, Parenteral preparation contains benzyl alcohol and sodium benzoate which displaces bilirubin binding; contraindicated in jaundiced and preterm infants Chlorpromazine: controls CNS and GI signs; dosage of 0.55 mg/kg every 6 hours IM or PO; slow elimination with half-life of 3 days; injectable contains benzyl alcohol; other side effects: cerebellar dysfunction, decreased seizure threshold.
Slide 46-

Neonatal Narcotic Withdrawal Syndrome (Pharmacologic Treatment) Morphine: Preparation: Oral morphine solution (10mg/5 ml) with added sterile water 5ml = (1 mg/ml) or 0.1 mg in 0.1ml (expires in 7 days). Dose: 0.08 mg to 0.2 mg per dose every 3 - 4 h

Slide 48-

Opiate-Exposed Neonate Initiate behavioral care/intervention Decrease sensory stimulation Promote self-regulation Environmental support Swaddling; decrease vestibular movements; minimal light and sound stimulation Nutritional support (may need higher caloric density feeds)
Slide 49-

Opiate-Exposed Neonate Report of withdrawal manifestations Finnegan scoring timed with feedings (q 3 or 4 hours) 2 or 3 consecutive Finnegan scores >24 Add pharmacological treatment to behavioral intervention Morphine 0.4 mg/kg/day divide into Q 4 or Q 3 hours based on feeding schedule. Continue scoring after feedings and evaluate every 24 hours.
Slide 50-

Opiate-Exposed Neonate After 24 hours scores total >24 (3 consecutive scores) increase dose by 10% of original dose q 24 hours until stable (scores <24 total from 3 consecutive scores) If after 24 hours of initial treatment scores equal <24 total from 3 consecutive scores, continue dose for additional 48 hours; then decrease dose by 10% of maximum dose. If scores continue to be less than 24 from 3 consecutive scores for 48 hours, taper dose by 10% of maximum dose. Therefore weaning is done q 48 hours.
Slide 51-

Opiate-Exposed Neonate Weaning is done q 48 hours. If rescue needed, add half of the weaning dose (half of the 10% of maximum dose or 5%), stabilize for 48hours and use the 5% for weaning q 48 hours. If requiring greater than 1 mg/kg/day use another drug. If dose is less than 0.1 mg/kg/day, may discontinue morphine May go home on morphine if infant is going home to safe environment.

Goals of Treatment and Management Minimize symptomatology (supportive & pharmacologic) Promote growth and weight gain Promote caretaker-child interaction Strategies directed to social issues Improve short-term and long-term outcomes Endangered children (child abuse/neglect) Long-term behavioral problems
Slide 59-

AAP Recommendations (1998) Screening should involve multiple forms, e.g., urine plus meconium NAS should be considered as a diagnosis in whom compatible signs develop; be aware of other potential diagnosis Withdrawal should be scored; consistent scoring enables consistent decisions to institute treatment and allows quantitative approach to increasing or decreasing dosing
Slide 60-

AAP Recommendations (1998) Pharmacologic therapy of seizures is indicated; other causes must be evaluated Vomiting, diarrhea, or both associated with dehydration and poor weight gain, in the absence of other diagnosis, relative indications for treatment even if absent high withdrawal scores Drug selection - match the agent causing withdrawal (opium for opioid; phenobarbital for sedative-hypnotic)
Slide 61-

AAP Recommendations (1998) Must be aware that severity of withdrawal signs has not been proven to be associated with differences in outcomes; Treatment of drug withdrawal may not alter the long-term outcome Naloxone contraindicated for opiate withdrawal
Slide 62-

Prenatal Drug Exposure: Long-term Behavior Outcome
Slide 63-

Prenatal Drug Exposure: Long-term Behavior Outcome High prenatal cocaine exposure predicts externalizing behavior from the parent and teacher’s observation Prenatal opiate exposure is associated with attention problems more evident as children are older Other predictors of behavior problems: Community violence Caretaker depression Postnatal tobacco and alcohol exposures Bada et al. Neurotoxicology Teratology 2010
Slide 64-

Breastfeeding and Maternal Drug Use AAP 2001: The Committee on Drugs strongly believes that nursing mothers should not ingest drugs of abuse, because they are hazardous to the nursing infant and to the health of the mother. However, the dose restriction for methadone was eliminated (<20 mg since 1983, as compatible with breast feeding).
Slide 65-

Methadone and Breastfeeding
Slide 66-

Methadone and Breastfeeding Amount of methadone in breast milk is very small and dependent on dose of methadone Inconclusive studies on short term and long term developmental effects of methadone received by infant Amount of methadone in breast milk may not be adequate to treat NAS
Slide 67-

Methadone and Breastfeeding Ideally women who choose to breast feed – comprehensive treatment facilities Counseling needed regarding benefits and consequences during relapse Discourage those if unstable drug recovery, have HIV, engaged in prostitution, with Hepatitis C when nipples are cracked Review relative safety of other psychotropic medications (unknown safety profiles of SSRI, antidepressants, anti-psychotic meds) Watch for overmedication post-partum (higher methadone requirement during pregnancy).
Slide 68-

Methadone and Breastfeeding (Barriers) The breastfed drug- exposed infant Challenging because of NAS; may require treatment Various complications noted in infants: Irritability State lability Hypertonicity Disorganized suck and swallow Hypersensitivity Nasal stuffiness interfering with sucking
Slide 69-

Methadone and Breastfeeding (Barriers) Other barriers to breast feeding Health care providers Treating physicians uncomfortable with safety of methadone Nursing staff uncomfortable with practice (What else may be in breast milk?)
Slide 70-

Breastfeeding and Maternal Drug Use AAP 2001: The Committee on Drugs strongly believes that nursing mothers should not ingest drugs of abuse, because they are hazardous to the nursing infant and to the health of the mother. Drugs of abuse for which adverse effects on the infant has been reported (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Heroin, Marijuana, Phencyclidine) CDC: Breastfeeding is NOT advisable if the following condition is true: The infant whose mother is using or is dependent upon an illicit drug.
Slide 71-

Summary May need universal screening for in utero drug exposure Mother will need management (address medical, drug rehabilitation, multiple social issues) Non-judgmental approach Baby will need monitoring and supportive treatment Need for pharmacologic treatment will depend on type of drug exposure and manifestations of withdrawal Promote child growth, health, and safety Direct treatment or management to child and family
