Post-Procedure Analgesic Management

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

During the development of multimodal pain management protocols, practitioners need to consider the potential risks each treatment modality inherently carries in order to prevent or diminish harmful outcomes. As an example, the part dentists played in the early stages of the opioid epidemic in the United States of America should serve as a cautionary account. By understanding the roots of this crisis, as practitioners we are better equipped to implement the novel analgesic agents available today to optimize post-operative pain control while minimizing any risk of addiction and harm to our communities. It is therefore critical that our colleagues understand the variety of accessible options for pain management to assure that our profession is able to seek adequate and sustainable relief for our post-operative patients. This article will go in depth to explain the analgesic tools practitioners can implement for an effective low-risk protocol, including a combination of NSAIDS and acetaminophen approach, using long-acting local anesthetics such as Exparel, pregabalin, gabapentin, ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and corticosteroids, and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols.
