Mechanism of action

This is a clinical practice rather than a specific drug entity, involving the use of opioids, non-opioid analgesics, or regional anesthetic techniques administered intraoperatively to supplement inadequate analgesia. The mechanism depends on the specific agent used but generally involves blocking nociceptive pathways or enhancing endogenous pain suppression during the surgical procedure.
