The opioid crisis has forced anesthesiologists to reconsider pain management strategies, particularly in perioperative care, where opioid administration has long been the default for moderate to severe pain. Yet the risks — including opioid-induced hyperalgesia, respiratory depression, prolonged hospital stays, and long-term dependence — have become too significant to ignore. Neuraxial anesthesia offers an opioid-sparing alternative that not only matches but, in many cases, exceeds the effectiveness of systemic opioids in achieving pain control — all while reducing the likelihood of opioid-related complications.
