[Postoperative non-opioid analgesics management].
Morphine, which is known as the reference analgesic, has shown its limits. Reducing morphine consumption and multimodal analgesia are integral parts of a modern management of postoperative pain. Combination of several analgesics aims for improving pain control and the ratio between the analgesic effect and the side effects. Nefopam, paracetamol, non-steroids anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids are the most frequently prescribed non-opioid analgesics in France. They can be administered alone or in combination with or without morphine in the postoperative setting. The analgesic benefit of each of these agents and their associations is variable and described in details in this manuscript.
