Acute Pain Management

Acute pain can be mild and last just a moment, or it might be severe and last for weeks or months. The Division of Regional Anaesthesia and Acute Perioperative Pain Management utilize state of the art regional anaesthesia techniques as the main component of a multimodal approach to acute pain management. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience 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.
