The concept of postoperative pain and the features of pain syndrome after cardiac surgery are discussed in the article. Postoperative analgesia techniques are predominantly analyzed (conventional method of analgesia with opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, its drawbacks and side effects, regional techniques applicable in cardiac surgery). The authors reported the modern ideas about multimodal analgesia and various adjuvants in cardiac surgery such as gabapentinoids, lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and ketamine.

Keywords:

postoperative analgesia

cardiac surgery

regional methods of analgesia
