‘On the Case’: The Kratom Problem and Some Considerations for Anesthesiologists

In this episode of “On the Case,” Peter J. Papadakos, MD, discusses a case report he wrote in the Journal of the American Academy of PAs (2021;34[4]:33-36) about a 54-year-old man who was transferred with a large right frontal intracerebral hemorrhage after ingesting kratom.

Papadakos is a professor of anesthesiology, surgery, neurology and neurosurgery, and the director of critical care medicine at the University of Rochester, in New York. He is also a member of the Anesthesiology News editorial advisory board.

“On the Case” is an interview-driven podcast series, in which we take a behind-the-scenes look at the popular case reports that are published in Anesthesiology News. We interrogate the authors of those case reports about what it was like to experience those clinical situations and why they decided to write about them afterward.
