Abstract

Analgesia refers to the relief of pain without the loss of consciousness or sensation. Pain relief is something that is necessary in life, and it has many practical applications during and after surgery. There are various types of analgesics that are used to treat different kinds of pain, but they can fall into two major categories: anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. When deciding on the best kind of analgesics to administer, specifics about the patient and the procedure must be considered. Overall, they play a crucial part in the medical field, although they have their risks and disadvantages as well.
