Making individualised anaesthesia and analgesia in surgery a clinical reality will require robust, multifaceted trials, as its implementation is both a clinical and ethical imperative. Such research must examine predictive risk, drug-based treatments, psychobiological influences on perioperative experience, real-time nociception monitoring, and... (More)
