Multimodal anesthesia
Have you all been using multimodal anesthesia? If so, what? My current choices are listed below.
In pre-op holding:
Acetaminophen 975 mg PO
Celebrex 400 mg PO
Gabapentin 600 mg PO
At the start of anesthesia:
50 mg/kg MgSO4 IV
On certain cases I will add 10 mg dexamethasone to the bupivacaine for the local.
Patients complained about nausea when I've used OxyContin pre-op so I stopped.
I think what's made the most noticeable drop in post-op pain...
