Pain Relief for Submucosal Resection of Nasal Septum in Adults Does Ketamine Have a Pre-Emptive Effect?

Abstract

Pain is an unpleasant sensory experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Acute pain management is an important aspect of perioperative anesthetic care. Moreover, it is the most important factor related to patient discomfort after surgery. Adequate pain management, ideally resulting in the complete absence of postoperative pain, not only provides comfort to patients, but may also contribute to improved healing and a reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications. Inadequate postoperative analgesia has been shown to contribute to adverse outcomes, including, but not limited to, immunosuppression, hyperglycemia, poor rehabilitation, and progression to chronic pain.
