Why the study?
Postoperative pain increases complication risks while liberal perioperative opioid use carries adverse events, leading to consensus for multimodal, opioid-minimizing analgesia.
What are the benefits and risks associated with non-opioid analgesics and regional anesthesia for postoperative pain management?
What are the benefits and risks associated with non-opioid analgesics and regional anesthesia for postoperative pain management?
Standardized multimodal analgesic protocols utilizing non-opioid analgesics and regional anesthesia are generally safe and facilitate opioid minimization for postoperative pain.
