Abstrakt: Advances since Dr. Donald's unpleasant experience twenty years ago include recognition of pain relief as the primary approach to postoperative agitation, and the ready use of IV opioids with acceptance of related mild hypercarbia. The use of neuraxial analgesic techniques, although controversial, ensures superior analgesia. The introduction of NSAIDs providing analgesia without sedation is a further benefit. Early tracheal extubation is a new trend which appears to improve patient comfort. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
