Opioids provide traditional treatment of postoperative pain, but they can lead to undesirable side effects, which may hinder a patient’s recovery (e.g. respiratory depression, sedation, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, pruritis, urinary retention, and constipation) Thus, the anesthesiologist and surgeon are using more non-opioid techniques to achieve better analgesia and reduce side effects.
