Sažetak
Articles published in this issue of the Acta Clinica Croatia had been prepared for oral presentations at the 7th Croatian Congress of Regional Anaesthesia and Analgesia with international participation, held on June 14- 15, 2019 in Zagreb, Croatia. The Congress was organized by the Croatian Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Analgesia in collaboration with the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia & Pain Therapy and School of Medicine, University of Zagreb under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts. Prior to acceptance and publication, all articles had undergone double review process, CrossRef similarity check and language editing. Regional anaesthesia specialists and enthusiasts have a mission to improve the current state-of- the- art of regional anaesthesia in orthopaedics, obstetrics and day surgery as well as to advance the therapy of postsurgical pain, pains in adults and in children, and of any kind of severe pain that can be helped by sensible administration of drugs and other pain therapies. In addition to education on current pain research and therapy through conferences and publications, we must promote education on the management of pain for both medical students and health professionals. By recognizing the dominant role of the brain, which generates our subjective experiences and activates our defense systems, we are now able to get a bit closer to the interlinked relationship between pain and stress. These relationships among stress, gender, the immune system, and chronic pain syndromes reveal the need to study pain in a biological context far broader than a pain pathway. Postoperative pain has been poorly managed for decades. Regional anaesthetic techniques are the most effective methods to treat postoperative pain. The role of acute pain services to improve pain management and outcome is well accepted but implementation seems challenging
