Abstract
Effective postoperative pain management has a humanitarian role, but there are additional medical and economic benefits for rapid recovery and discharge from hospital. A number of factors contribute to effective postoperative pain management including a structured acute pain management team, patient education, regular staff training, use of balanced analgesia, regular pain assessment using specific assessment tools and adjustment of strategies to meet the needs of special patient groups, such as children and the elderly.
Recent advances in pain control provide greater potential for effective
postoperative management.
2.Goals of pain treatment
Effective pain management is now an integral part of modern surgical practice. Postoperative pain management not only minimizes patient suffering but also can reduce morbidity and facilitate rapid recovery and early discharge from hospital, which can reduce hospital costs.
The goals of effective and appropriate pain management are to:
l Improve quality of life for the patient
l Facilitate rapid recovery and return to full function
l Reduce morbidity
l Allow early discharge from hospital
