Non-Opioid Analgesic Usage Among Pediatric Anesthesiologists: A Survey of Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Members.

There is growing evidence to support the perioperative use of non-opioid analgesic medications in the pediatric population,(1) but the use of, and attitudes toward, these agents among pediatric anesthesiologists is unknown. In order to characterize utilization of opioid-sparing agents in pediatric anesthesia, we designed a survey to study usage patterns for several non-opioid adjuncts by members of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) during and in the 24 hours following procedures.
