Anesthesia

Anesthesia and acute pain management

The Division of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Perioperative Pain Management utilize state of the art regional anesthesia techniques as the major component of a multimodal approach to acute pain management. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience (a perception) that elicits protective motor actions, and is capable of modifying species-specific behaviour, including social behaviour. Pain management is an approach to reducing pain and suffering associated with post-operative patients or patients in other medical situations.
