Spectrum of Trandermal Analgesia in Postoperative Knee Aryhroplasty -A Tertiary Experience
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Post operative pain management in knee arthroplasty is of utmost concern as it increases chances of mobilisation, physiotherapy and prevention of deep venous thrombosis. Recent advances in transdermal drug delivery in the form of opioid andNSAIDS improve the quality of analgesia and decreases the complications through other routes of administration.A transdermal analgesic patch or pain relief patch is a medicated adhesive used to relieve moderate to severe pain.There are primarily two types of pain relieving patches, patches containing counterirrtants which are used for mild to moderate pain and patches containing opioids like fentanyl used to relieve moderate to severe pain in opioid tolerant patients.
