postoperative analgesia

Postoperative analgesia refers to the management of pain after surgery. It involves using medications and techniques to reduce discomfort, helping patients rest and recover more comfortably. Common methods include pain relievers like opioids or non-opioid medicines, as well as regional anesthesia or nerve blocks that numb specific areas. The goal is to balance effective pain control with safety, minimizing side effects. Proper pain management improves patient outcomes by enabling earlier movement, reducing complications, and enhancing overall recovery experience. It’s tailored to each individual’s needs and the type of surgery performed.
