Abstract

Multimodal analgesia provides quality analgesia, with fewer side effects due to the use of combined analgesics or analgesic techniques. Regional anaesthesia plays a fundamental role in achieving this goal.

The different techniques of regional anaesthesia that include both peripheral and central blocks in either a single dose or in continuous infusion help to modulate the nociceptive stimuli that access the central level. The emergence of the ultrasound as an effective system to perform regional anaesthesia techniques has allowed the development of new regional anaesthesia techniques that formerly could not be carried out since only neurostimulation or skin references were used.

It is essential to take into account that even with effective blocking it is advisable to associate other drugs by other routes, in this way we will be able to reduce the required doses individually and attempt to achieve a synergistic, not purely additive, effect.

Resumen

La analgesia multimodal permite conseguir una analgesia de calidad y con menos efectos secundarios gracias al uso de diferentes analgésicos o técnicas analgésicas. La anestesia regional juega un papel fundamental para conseguir este objetivo.

Las diferentes técnicas de anestesia regional, que incluyen tanto los bloqueos periféricos como centrales, bien en dosis única, bien en perfusión continua, contribuyen a modular los estímulos nociceptivos que acceden a nivel central. La irrupción de los ultrasonidos como sistema efectivo para realizar las técnicas de anestesia regional ha permitido el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas de anestesia regional que antiguamente no podían realizarse al utilizar únicamente la neuroestimulación o las referencias cutáneas.

Es fundamental tener en cuenta que aun teniendo un bloqueo efectivo es recomendable asociar otros fármacos por otras vías, de esta manera conseguiremos disminuir las dosis requeridas de forma individual e intentaremos incluso que el efecto sea sinérgico y no tan solo aditivo.
