AB  - Management  of  postoperative  pain  has  improved  in  the  last  few  decades.  In  2000,  the  Joint  Commission  on  Accreditation  of  Healthcare  Organizations  (JCAHO)  officially  recognized  patients’  rights  in  pain  management  and  implemented  standards  for  assessment,  monitoring,  and  treatment  of  pain1;  in  2004,  the  American  Society  of  Anesthesiologists  established  the  Pain  Task  Force  and  published  clinical  practice  guidelines  to  promote  standardization  of  procedures  and  the  use  of  multimodal  analgesia2;  and  in  2010,  the  Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  and  the  Institute  of  Medicine  agreed  to  promote  the  recognition  of  pain  as  a  significant  public  health  problem.  Now,  pain  management  has  become  a  focus  of  the  healthcare  system  and  an  important  ethical  responsibility  of  the  medical  profession.  Opioids  remain  the  primary  analgesic  agent  for  treating  moderate  and  severe  pain  after  surgery;  however,  opioid-related  side  effects  may  compromise  quality  of  recovery.
