A Quick Dive into Perioperative Use of Paracetamol
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly used worldwide for the management of fever and pain. It has also been administered via multiple routes in the perioperative period. Paracetamol is an effective component of multimodal analgesia. In addition to patient- specific considerations when using paracetamol, both economic and environmental factors should also be taken into account when selecting the most appropriate route of administration in perioperative care. This approach can enhance cost-efficiency and support environmental sustainability, while maintaining optimal patient care and effective pain management.
