surgical pain management
Surgical pain management involves using various techniques to control and reduce pain after an operation. This can include medications like opioids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nerve blocks that numb specific areas, and other methods such as local anesthesia. The goal is to keep the patient comfortable, promote healing, and prevent complications from uncontrolled pain. The approach is tailored to the individual, considering the type of surgery, patient health, and pain level, ensuring effective relief while minimizing side effects.
