Pain management in the pediatric surgical patient

Vance Y Sohn et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2012 Jun.

Abstract

Surgeons performing painful, invasive procedures in pediatric patients must be cognizant of both the potential short- and long-term detrimental effects of inadequate analgesia. This article reviews the available tools, sedation procedures, the management of intraoperative, postoperative, and postprocedural pain, and the issues surrounding neonatal addiction.
