AB  - In  2010,  nearly  12  million  Americans  reported  nonmedical  use  of  prescription  painkillers  in  the  past  year.  As  the  use  and  abuse  of  opioids  increases,  the  likelihood  of  an  anesthesiologist  these  patients  during  clinical  practice  also  will  increase.  As  both  illegal  and  prescription  use  of  opioids  increases,  anesthesiologists  will  encounter  more  patients  exhibiting  opioid  tolerance.  Secondly,  as  abusers  of  opioids  seek  treatment  for  their  addiction,  the  numbers  of  patients  receiving  long-term  opioid  therapy  for  their  addiction  also  will  increase.
