PY - 2015 T2 - Clinical Pharmacology for Anesthesiology 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.
