Text Extraction

The management of pain plays an important role in postoperative rehabilitation and surgical outcome. Numerous analgesic options are available including opioid and non-opioid systemic analgesics, central neuraxial as well as peripheral regional anesthetic techniques, as well as various physical modalities. The goal is to alleviate pain and improve quality of care, to attenuate the harmful effects of pain, to reduce morbidity, and to facilitate rehabilitation. Chung et al. quantified the failure of outpatient pain management by noting that after some orthopedic, urologic, and plastic procedures, the incidence of severe postoperative pain varied between 40% and 70%. This lecture will explore the value of continuous regional analgesia (CRA) in meeting the goals of optimal pain management.
