Postoperative Pain Management in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: An Integrative Review

CONCLUSIONS: A greater tendency to use drug strategies for postoperative pain relief was identified. The drugs used demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of pain, with the exception of nefopam, which showed little benefit in this population. Nonpharmacological interventions, used as adjuvants to drug treatment, were shown to be safe, effective, and well tolerated by the patients.PMID:37999687 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.07.020
