Abstract
Pain relief after surgery is no longer a case of giving a single injection of morphine or codeine. Analgesic drugs are now used in combination in order to get the best results. In prolonged or severe pain, infusions of local anaesthetic are employed for nerve or plexus block, and in older children self-administration of morphine is standard practice.
