The document discusses acute perioperative pain management. It emphasizes the importance of treating pain to improve patient outcomes and recovery. A multimodal approach using pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods is recommended, including acetaminophen, NSAIDs, opioids, regional anesthesia techniques, and consulting an acute pain service for complex cases. Proper pain assessment and multimodal analgesia can provide superior pain relief while reducing side effects and length of hospital stay.
Aggressive preemtive multimodal including epidural or nerve block not only produce optimal analgesia but also may prevent the occurrence of chronic pain after surgical
Paracetamol as a single analgesic is only for mild and moderate pain.
However it can be combined with many analgesics to provide strong effect.
So, it can be the basic regiment for Multimodal Analgesia.

To improving postoperative pain management, we need to;
- Always applies multi-modal analgesia. (get the advantages of multimodal analgesia)
- Implementation of the existing EB regarding the use of non-opioid + opioid on as needed basis.
- Use available specific evidence for optimizing multimodal pain management procedure (PROSPECT Web site).
By the end of this presentation, learners will be able to:
1. Discuss the current state of the opioid epidemic;
2. Review the role of opioids in anesthesia and perioperative care; and
3. Assess the value of opioid-free strategies.
Post operative pain management has no specific criteria. Lots of methods and procedures are suggested with various types of drugs. It is just a guideline for management of pain after surgery.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
3. Introduction
What is Pain?
An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience
associated with actual or potential tissue damage or
described in terms of such damage.
IASP Pain Definition (1994, 2008)
5. Introduction
Pain Signal Processing:
Pain perception is a complex phenomenon involving
sophisticated transmission pathways in the nervous
system
With many pain signal transmission points, there exists
opportunity!
7. Why Treat Pain?
Basic human right!
↓ pain and suffering
↓ complications – next slide
↓ likelihood of chronic pain development
↑ patient satisfaction
↑ speed of recovery → ↓ length of stay → ↓ cost
↑ productivity and quality of life
8. Adverse Effects of Poor Pain
Control
CVS: MI, dysrhythmias
Resp: atelectasis, pneumonia
GI: ileus, anastomotic failure
Endocrine: “stress hormones”
Hypercoagulable state: DVT, PE
Impaired immunological state
Infection, cancer, wound healing
Psychological:
Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue
Chronic Post-surgery/trauma Pain
9. “… it remains a common misconception amongst
clinicians that acute postoperative pain is a transient
condition involving physiological nociceptive
stimulation, with a variable affective component, that
differs markedly in its pathophysiological basis from
chronic pain syndromes.”
Cousins MJ, Power I, and Smith G.
Regional Analgesia and Pain Medicine, 25 (2000) 6-21
Adverse Effects of Poor Pain

12. Pain Assessment
Origin of Pain
Acute Pain
ie. Incisional pain, acute appendicitis
Chronic Pain
ie. Chronic back pain
Acute on Chronic Pain
Acute and chronic causes may or may not be related to each
other
14. Pain Assessment
Current Pain Medications
Accuracy and detail are very important!
Name, dose, frequency, route
ie. Oxycontin 10mg PO TID
Don’t forget to re-order or factor in patient’s pre-existing
pain Rx usage when writing orders
Conflicts with HPI / PMH
Renal disease → avoid morphine, NSAID’s
Vomiting → avoid oral forms of medication
Short gut/high output stomas → avoid CR formulations
15. Pain Assessment
Allergies / Intolerances
Drug allergies
Document drug, adverse reaction and severity
Intolerances
Nausea / vomiting, hallucinations, disorientation, etc.
Very important to differentiate between an allergy and an
intolerance!
19. Multimodal Analgesia
Using more than one drug for pain control
Different drugs with different mechanisms/sites of action
along pain pathway
Each with a lower dose than if used alone
Can provide additive or synergistic effects
Provides better analgesia with less side effects (mainly
opiate related S/E)
Always consider multimodal analgesia when treating pain
20. Acetaminophen
First-line treatment if no contraindication
Mechanism: thought to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis
in CNS → analgesia, antipyretic
Only available in po form in Canada
Typical dose: 650 to 1000 mg PO Q6H
Max dose: 4 g / 24 hrs from all sources
Warning: ↓ dose / avoid in those with liver damage
26. Opioids
Morphine
Most commonly prescribed opioid in hospital
Metabolism:
Conjugation with glucuronic acid in liver and kidney
Morphine-3-glucuronide (inactive)
Morphine-6-glucuronide (active)
Impaired morphine glucuronide elimination in renal failure
Prolonged respiratory depression with small doses
Due to metabolite build-up (morphine-6-glucuronide)
27. Opioids
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid)
Better tolerated by elderly, better S/E profile
Preferred over morphine for renal disease patients
Low cost, IV and PO forms available
Oxycodone
Good S/E profile, but $$
PO form only
Percocet (oxycodone + acetaminophen)
28. Opioids
Codeine
1/10th
Potency of morphine
Metabolized into morphine by body
Ineffective in 10% of Caucasian patents
Challenge with combination formulations
Meperidine (Demerol)
Not very potent
Decreases seizure threshold, dystonic reactions
Neurotoxic metabolite (normeperidine)
Avoid in renal disease
29. Opioids - Formulations
Short acting forms
Need to be dosed frequently to maintain consistent
analgesia
Controlled Release forms
Provides more consistent steady state level
Helpful for severe pain or chronic pain situations
Never crush / split / chew controlled release pills
32. Opioids – PCA
Allows patient to reach their own minimum effective
analgesic concentration (MEAC)
Rapid titration (Morphine 1mg IV every 5 min)
Better analgesia and less side effects than IM prn
33. Gabapentin
Anti-epileptic drug, also useful in:
Neuropathic pain, Postherpetic neuralgia, CRPS
Blocks voltage-gated Ca channels in CNS
Additive effect with NSAIDs
Reduces opioid consumption by 16-67%
Reduces opioid related side effects
Drowsiness if dose increased too fast
36. Regional Anesthesia
Involves blockade of nerve impulses using local
anesthetics (LA)
LA bind sodium channels preventing propagation of
action potentials along nerves
Wide variety of LA with different characteristics:
ie. Lidocaine – fast onset, short duration of action
ie. Bupivacaine (Marcaine) – slow onset, longer duration
39. Benefits of
Epidural Analgesia
Superior analgesia to IV PCA in open abdominal procedures &
specifically in colorectal surgery
Reduce incidence of paralytic ileus
Blunt surgical stress response
Improves dynamic pain relief
Reduces systemic opiate requirements
Facilitates early oral intake, mobilization and return of bowel fx
when part of fast track protocols
40. Epidural Analgesia
Recommended as part of ERAS/fast track protocols for
colon/colorectal surgery
Increased incidence of hypotension and urinary retention
Management of postoperative hypotension?
41. Contraindications to
Neuraxial Blockade
Absolute:
Pt refusal or allergy to LA
Uncorrected hypovolemia
Infection at insertion site
Raised ICP
? Coagulopathy
Relative:
Uncooperative patient
Fixed cardiac output states
Systemic infection/sepsis
Unstable neurological disease
Significant spine abnormalities or surgery
46. Acute Pain Service
Consult service for complex / specialized pain
management
Anesthesia Staff + Advanced Practice Nurses
Many post-op patients will be followed by APS
If APS involved, APS must write all pain Rx
Call for:
Advice
Difficult to manage cases
47. Summary
Accurate pain assessment
Make sure to continue or account for patient’s pre-
hospital pain regimen
Use Multimodal pain management
Discharge pain management plan
Acute Pain Service available 24 hrs/day
48. Summary
Superior analgesia, ↓ side effects means:
Improved patient satisfaction
Better rehabilitation
Earlier functional return
Earlier discharge from hospital
↓ likelihood of chronic pain
Reduced health care costs
Editor's Notes
Be sure to ask about pre-existing pain scores (ie. Pre-hospital)
