Adjunct
An adjunct is something added, but not essential. In anesthesia, we have adjunct airway devices
(like stylets and bougies). As well, many pharmacologic agents are used as adjuncts to
analgesia. An example would be the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory for a patient
receiving patient-controlled (PCA) Morphine.
