Purpose Of ReviewNew developments in analgesic drugs and techniques are being applied to the pediatric population. Appropriate pain management for ambulatory surgery patients helps to facilitate early discharge and minimize postoperative morbidity.Recent FindingsA variety of opioid-related drugs, as well as novel delivery routes for opioids, have been reported in the pediatric population. New pharmacokinetic information for acetaminophen has resulted in revised dosage recommendations; applications of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents are also discussed. Furthermore, regional anesthesia and adjuncts are useful in the pediatric ambulatory surgery patient.SummaryRecent data on techniques for pain management after pediatric ambulatory surgery will help the anesthetist develop a comprehensive plan for the postoperative period.
