AB  - Analgesia,  as  distinct  from  hypnosis,  is  a  vital  and  integral  component  of  anesthesia.Anesthesiologists  must  plan  for  the  continuum  of  intra-  and  postoperative  pain.The  principles  of  "opioid  sparing"  or  "multimodal  analgesia"  are  central  to  the  goal  of  rapid  recovery  because  opioid  side  effects  delay  recovery.Patient-controlled  analgesia  (PCA)  has  greatly  facilitated  acute  pain  management  at  both  provider  and  institutional  levels.Epidural  analgesia  continues  to  play  an  important  role  in  the  treatment  of  pain  after  major  intra-abdominal  and  thoracic  surgery,  although  the  benefit  versus  risk  should  be  reexamined  in  an  era  of  potent  thrombosis  prophylaxis.Chronic  opioid  use  and  abuse  are  emerging  as  prominent  challenges  during  acute  pain  treatment.
