Epidural opioids are widely used in the management of post- operative pain. On the basis of an extensive review of the literature the authors here

present their own interpretation of current knowledge of how the

distribution and effectiveness of epidurally administered opiods are

fundamentally determined. They conclude that all opioids that

are currently being used to treat postoperative epidural pain carry the potential risk of severe side effects if the dose regimens are not tailored to the patient"s individual analgesic need. This book will serve to

stimulate new ideas among pain specialistst.
