Multimodal analgesia is an universal recommendation for the control of postoperative pain in diverse clinical situations. This recommendation is endorsed by the American Pain Society (APS), the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). Multimodal analgesic therapy is individualized and adjusted according to age, type of pain and intensity, specific surgical procedure, associated morbidities and adverse effects of drugs. The analgesic ladder proposed by the World Health Organization was adapted by the World Federation of Societies and Associations of Anesthesiologists (1997) for the management of acute perioperative pain. Non-opioid analgesics are the cornerstone for a successful perioperative therapy, among which are paracetamol, non-selective and COX-2, also include adjuvants (full version visithttp://www.painoutmexico.com ).
