Management of '''postoperative pain''' is a major part of anaesthesiology and surgery. Post-operative pain not only is annoying to the patient, but it increases the risk of chronic post-surgical pain, acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, and poor outcomes in general. Post-operative pain occurs from the surgery itself, from the immobility and positioning during surger..." current Tag: Visual edit: Switched
