Abstract

The presentation will commence with a brief review of acute pain physiology. The purpose of the discussion will be to describe new agents that are soon to be available on the South African market, and exactly where they are applicable in acute and chronic pain management. Considerable data will need to be published on each of the agents, and it would be impossible to summarise it here. The data that are pertinent to the clinical practice of anaesthesiologists is highlighted below.
