[Postoperative pain. Particularities in the child of less than 5 years, neonatology excluded].
For many years, postoperative pain has been undertreated in children less than 5 years old in comparison to adults. The assessment of pain is indeed difficult in this range of age, and only the scales of hetero-evaluation are used. The guidelines for treatment are similar as in adults: systematic administration, balanced analgesia, evaluation of pain and potential adverse effects. Non opioid analgesics used are mainly paracetamol, niflumic acid and ibuprofen. Morphine remains the drug of choice among opioids; however the risk of respiratory depression in higher in infants less than 3 months old. Nalbuphine is also widely used in paediatrics. In addition, regional anaesthesia, either in single shot for minor surgery, or in continuous administration through epidural catheter for major surgery, has changed the management of postoperative pain in paediatrics.
