TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 77. The Role of Nonopioid Analgesic Techniques in the Management of Postoperative Pain A1 - White, Paul F. A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - An increasing number of complex operations are being performed on an outpatient basis for which the use of conventional opioid-based IV patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) and central neuraxial (spinal and epidural) analgesia are not practical techniques for pain management. For that and other reasons, effective treatment of acute postsurgical pain presents unique challenges for practitioners.1 This expansion of outpatient surgery requires a perioperative analgesic regimen that is highly effective, has minimal side effects, is intrinsically safe, and can be easily managed away from the hospital or surgical center.2 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3510182 ER -
