A call to reassess the clinical value of preventive (preemptive) analgesia.

摘要

In the title of their review, Katz et al. used the expression "Quo Vadimus?" (where are we going?) instead of Peter's familiar question to Jesus, "Quo Vadis?" (where are you going?). The change in wording probably symbolizes another transformation in the authors' review topic: "preventive analgesia" instead of more common "preemptive analgesia." This change is well justified2"4 and excellently described in the review.
