Appropriate management of patients with acute perioperative pain using multimodal or balanced analgesia is crucial (Macres SM, Moore PG, Fishman SM. Acute pain management. In: Barash PG, Cullen BF, Stoelting RK, Cahalan MK, Ortega R, Stock MC, eds. Clinical Anesthesia. Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2013:1611–1644). Inadequate relief of postoperative pain has adverse physiologic effects that may contribute to significant morbidity and mortality, resulting in the delay of patient recovery and return to daily activities.
