Key result
A nurse-based, anesthesiologist-supervised acute pain service model utilizing regular pain intensity recording and optimal systemic opioids offers a low-cost alternative for postoperative analgesia.
Why the study?
Can a low-cost, nurse-based, anesthesiologist-supervised Acute Pain Service model improve postoperative analgesia for surgical patients?
Can a low-cost, nurse-based, anesthesiologist-supervised Acute Pain Service model improve postoperative analgesia for surgical patients?
A low-cost, nurse-based Acute Pain Service model may provide a more accessible alternative to traditional high-cost models for postoperative pain management.
