AB Perioperative  pain  control  remains  one  of  the  primary  concerns  for  surgical  patients,  surgeons,  and  anesthesiologists.  Traditionally,  opiates  have  been  the  medications  used  for  the  treatment  of  perioperative  pain.  However,  as  our  knowledge  of  molecular  nociception  has  expanded,  it  has  become  apparent  that  multiple  receptor  subtypes  are  involved  in  the  neurochemical  basis  for  pain  (Figure  11–1).  As  perioperative  physicians,  anesthesiologists  exploit  this  knowledge  by  using  pharmacologic  agents  in  addition  to  opiates  to  control  surgical  pain.
