How do we do manage it?
Multimodal analgesia: several analgesics with different mechanisms of action, each working at different sites in the nervous system
Local anesthetics- Peripheral nerve blocks/ Epidurals
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
Opioids
Anticonvulsants
Muscle Relaxants
Antidepressants
NMDA Antagonists
Non-pharmacologic methods
![Page 16: Clinical Pearls in Multimodal Pain Management · 325-650mg PO/PR q 4-6hr Ibuprofen 200-800mg PO q 4-6hr (max 3.2gm/d) Ketorolac 10mg PO TID 15-30mg IV/IM q 4-6hr Naproxen 220-500mg](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042920/5f64d490607f8f2f0e03f296/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pain Medications
Efficacy is limited by side effects
The higher we escalate dosage with single mode analgesia, the greater the degree of side effects
Analgesia Side Effects

Benefits of Multimodal Analgesia
Lower doses of each drug can be used therefore minimizing SE
May include more than one route of administration
Synergistic effects between different drug classes can enhance the effects of each drug
Especially effective in patients who are at risk for the SE of large doses of opioids Frail/elderly
Obstructive sleep apnea
Chronic pain patients

Peripheral Nerve Blocks Provides postoperative analgesia after painful orthopedic procedures
Can reduce the amount of pain after surgery roughly by 50%
Reduces the amount of pain medications needed after surgery
May decrease the length of stay in the hospital
