Post Operative Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
Postoperative pain remains a prevalent concern despite ongoing improvements in surgical methods and pain management strategies. Opioids, while commonly prescribed, frequently lead to undesirable side effects. Epidural analgesia, though a viable option, carries its risks and complications. Recent research indicates that combining intravenous lidocaine and ketamine can significantly alleviate postoperative pain and decrease the reliance on opioids within the initial 24 hours following surgery. This approach offers a promising alternative with minimal additional adverse effects, suggesting a potential shift in pain management practices.
