Currently, two-thirds of patients undergoing surgery experience acute postoperative pain (POP), which increases the possibility of immediate postoperative complications and facilitates the development of chronic POP. Post-surgical pain does not have a useful biological function, so it must be prevented, avoided, and/or eliminated. The objective of the rational management of acute pain after surgery is to facilitate the rapid recovery of patients with a prompt integration into their usual preoperative activities. The global crisis of opioid abuse has forced us to use other analgesic drugs as well as regional analgesia techniques that are part of effective multimodal analgesia. The non-pharmacological approach has also gained importance in the comprehensive management of acute POP. This book reviews advances in the understanding, management, and complications of POP.

"Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs are a multidisciplinary approach in the perioperative care of the patient undergoing major surgery, including pre, intra and postoperative measures, based on the actual evidence published in literature (evidence-based medicine), to improve the postoperative recovery of the patient. ERAS protocols have been widely developed in colorectal surgery, but given their excellent results, new protocols and guidelines have been developed in other surgical fields, including abdominal and extra-abdominal areas. One of the main keypoints in the multidisciplinary approach is a correct management of postoperative pain. Adequate analgesia implies lower morphine requirements and facilitates early postoperative mobilization. Consequently, lower postoperative ileus and earlier oral intake can be achieved. Altogether, this leads to an improvement of the overall quality of life. Multimodal analgesia is one of the main tools employed for these aims. It consists of the administration of different analgesic drugs by different ways, reducing the risk of toxicity and the appearance of adverse effects. In addition, the different analgesic methods used provide a synergistic effect, maximizing the analgesic result. The aim of this book is to update the actual evidence about ERAS protocols on different surgical approaches, analyzing the different analgesic schemes used in different approaches, all of them including the principle of multimodal analgesia"--

Postoperative nausea and vomiting is an increasingly common and distressing problem faced by patients undergoing anesthesia that negatively affects their recovery and wellbeing and can result in significant increases in healthcare costs. Effective treatment strategies and relevant, up-to-date guidance are essential to manage postoperative nausea and vomiting in the perioperative setting. This practical, concise guide to the subject offers information on the history and mechanisms of postoperative nausea and vomiting, assessing and identifying risk factors, providing appropriate pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, and implementing successful management strategies to tackle this issue. As a uniquely comprehensive study of the topic that provides much more detail than a chapter in a general anaesthesia textbook, this is an invaluable resource for anesthetists and physicians managing patients post-surgery.
