Statement of the problem:. Postoperative pain is the most common problem following surgery whether patient undergoes general anesthesia or subarachnoid block. Poorly controlled postoperative pain is as associated with several complications like pneumonia, myocardial ischemia, paralytic ileus, thromoboembolism as well as an increased chance of development of chronic pain. So effective postoperative analgesia is a crucial component of surgical care. Different pharmacological modalities are available, and continue to evolve for reducing and managing postoperative pain.
Purpose of this study: The objective of the present study was to find out the pattern of postoperative analgesic use in first postoperative day in different surgeries in a tertiary care hospital of private setting in Bangladesh.
