ABSTRACT:
The article clarifies that pain is a multidimensional phenomenon both in adults and children. The authors reviewed the literature and surveyed the clinical data on the management of pain in pediatric patients. The conclusion was made that pain management in pediatric patients needs adequate management and effective pharmacotherapy with non-opioid and opioid analgesics. Data for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics characteristics of frequently used analgesic drugs are summarized. The authors include useful schemas of pharmacotherapy with nonopioid as well as opioid analgesics and practical guidelines for pain management in clinical ward or outpatient departments.
Key words: pediatric patients, pain management, opioids, non-opioid analgesics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics,
