    Insights

    Effective pain management in children undergoing surgery relies on balanced analgesia. This review explores intravenous non-opioid analgesics for perioperative acute pain, crucial for improving pediatric anesthesia.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Anesthesia
    • Pain Management

    Context:

    • Perioperative pain management is critical in pediatric anesthesia.
    • Balanced analgesia, combining synergistic or additive analgesics, is a common strategy.
    • Challenges remain in assessing pain and managing difficult cases in children.

    Purpose:

    • To review intravenous non-opioid analgesics for perioperative acute pain in children.
    • To highlight the role of non-opioid analgesics in pediatric anesthesia protocols.

    Summary:

    • Non-opioid analgesics are often given during anesthesia induction for sustained effects.
    • These agents are frequently combined with opioids or regional anesthetic techniques.
    • Intravenous administration allows for precise dosing and rapid onset in perioperative settings.

    Impact:

    • Improving the management of acute pain in pediatric surgical patients.
    • Enhancing the application of balanced analgesia principles in pediatric anesthesia.
    • Providing evidence-based information for clinicians on non-opioid analgesic use.

    Analgesia and Pain Management

    Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
