Preoperative Multimodal Analgesia Decreases 24-Hour Postoperative Narcotic Consumption in Elective Spinal Fusion Patients.
Abstract
Effective postoperative pain management in patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery has been associated with shorter hospital stays, reduced rates of hospital readmissions due to pain, and decreased cost of care. Furthermore, preoperative multimodal analgesia regimens have been shown to decrease postoperative subjective pain measurements and narcotic consumption in patients undergoing spinal fusion and total arthroplasty surgeries.
