Abstract
Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for analgesia in the perioperative time frame. NSAIDs are classified as non-selective or selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Some are available over the counter, while other formulations require a physician’s prescription. It is important for the anesthesiologist to be familiar with the physiologic and pathologic effects of NSAIDs to effectively manage their use in the perioperative setting. This chapter reviews NSAIDs classifications, mechanism of action, pharmacology, side effects, and anesthetic considerations. Various factors such as age and comorbidities should be considered when administering NSAIDs to avoid perioperative complications.
