[Pharmaco-economic aspects of perioperative pain management]

Abstract

We present a reflection on pharmaco-economy of perioperative pain management. A real optimisation of expenses could be obtained if taking into consideration factors that augment and diminish costs of the process, due to the organisation of the process itself, due to optimisation of the information and decision's circuits. The cost of an analgesic is not significant when compared with the cost of entire process of pain management.
