Abstract

Perioperative pain control has become a focus of a large volume of attention and research over the last several years. As the medical community attempts to better understand the risks of narcotics in perioperative pain, many other modalities have been investigated. These modalities have led to innovative and revolutionary methods to manage pain. In this chapter, we will discuss the role of several modes of analgesia in the realms of general abdominal surgery, vascular surgery, and thoracic surgery and the data behind the current state of practice. This includes the use of local vs regional anesthetics, epidurals, various local anesthetics, NSAIDs, continuous infusion analgesia, and others.
