Abstract:
This article discusses the current updates in the post-operative pain management with regards to the pathophysiology of pain, adverse physiologic sequelae of pain, pharmacological considerations, and the use of oral, parenteral, peripheral nerve blocks and neuraxial analgesics in conjunction with the mutimodal approach in controlling post- surgical pain for better patient outcome.
