In peripheral vascular surgery, multimodal pain management allows early mobilization, which leads to rapid recovery and patient satisfaction. Failure to control postoperative pain increases costs, days of hospital stay and increases the risk of complications such as infections and thromboembolism. Before surgery, using dexamethasone, gabapentin and paracetamol improves higher leves of postoperative analgesia. Epidural analgesia is the technique that provides the greatest pain relief in the postoperative period, causing a lower incidence of chronic pain; limiting the use of neuroaxial opioids decreases the motor block time, allowing early mobilization and avoiding complications associated with prostration (visit http://www.painoutmexico.com to see the full article and diagram of overall recommendations).
