    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Surgical Nursing

    Background:

    • Preemptive analgesia involves administering pain-relieving medications before surgical procedures.
    • Commonly used agents include local anesthetics, opioids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
    • The use of these agents before surgery is a subject of ongoing clinical debate.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current clinical research on the preoperative administration of analgesics.
    • To examine the efficacy of local anesthetics, opioids, and NSAIDs in managing postoperative pain.
    • To discuss the implications of this practice for nursing professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of current clinical research.
    • Analysis of studies investigating the use of local anesthetics, opioids, and NSAIDs prior to surgery.
    • Discussion of evidence regarding pain reduction and patient management.

    Main Results:

    • Preoperative administration of these agents can effectively reduce postoperative pain.
    • Improved patient management in the postoperative period is associated with this approach.
    • The technique is associated with controversy and requires careful consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • Preemptive analgesia with local anesthetics, opioids, and NSAIDs offers potential benefits for pain control and patient recovery.
    • The controversial nature of this practice necessitates a thorough understanding of risks and benefits.
    • Nurses play a crucial role in the administration and monitoring of these agents, requiring specific knowledge and skills.
