Multimodal Anesthesia

Multimodal anesthesia refers to the use of multiple methods or medications to manage pain and ensure comfort during surgical procedures. Instead of relying on a single anesthetic, healthcare providers combine different types, such as local anesthetics, opioids, and non-opioid pain relievers. This approach not only enhances pain control but also reduces the dosage required for each medication, minimizing potential side effects. By targeting pain through various pathways in the body, multimodal anesthesia aims to improve the overall experience for patients, leading to better recovery outcomes and less reliance on strong painkillers after surgery.
