    Author: Pashkova AA, Svider PF, Eloy JA.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2020 Oct; 53(5):715-728. PubMed ID: 32682532.
    Abstract:
    Nearly 50,000 US adults experience opioid-overdose deaths annually and 1.7 million experience a substance use disorder from prescription opioids. Hence, understanding analgesia strategies is of utmost importance. A pre-operative analgesic plan can consist of a brief conversation between the surgeon, patient, and anesthesiologist in an uncomplicated case or range all the way to an involved, multidisciplinary plan for a chronic pain patient. Over the past several decades, there have been myriad studies examining perioperative analgesic regimens for otolaryngologic procedures, many of which have demonstrated the efficacy of nonopioid analgesics.
