Abstract
|
|
|
Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled postoperative pain may lead to delayed recovery from
surgery, pulmonary complications, and restriction of mobility leading to increased risk of
thromboembolism. Standardized regimens for pain management can lead to safer and better
pain control. Of these regimens, patient-controlled analgesia, a delivery system with which
patients self-administer small, predetermined analgesic doses, produced improved pain relief,
greater patient satisfaction, less sedation, and fewer postoperative complications. Anesthesiologists
have played an important role to make this pain management feasible. The introduction of
acute pain services at hospitals prompted improvements in postoperative pain management in
addition to the minimization of related complications.
