AB Children  experience  pain  to  at  least  the  same  level  as  adults.  Multiple  studies  have  shown  that  neonates  and  infants  perceive  pain  and  have  memory  of  these  painful  experiences.  Frequently,  children  are  under  prescribed  and  under-dosed  for  opioid  and  nonopioid  analgesics  due  to  excessive  concerns  of  respiratory  depression  and/or  poor  understanding  of  the  need  for  pain  medications  in  children.  Few  data  are  available  to  guide  the  dosing  of  many  pain  medications,  and  the  majority  of  pain  medications  available  on  the  market  today  are  unlabeled  for  use  in  pediatric  patients.
