Key result
Multimodal analgesia and regional anesthesia are essential for managing acute postoperative pain to prevent perioperative complications and the development of chronic postsurgical pain.
Why the study?
Inadequate management of acute postoperative pain increases complications and may lead to chronic postsurgical pain, which impairs recovery and quality of life.
Effective perioperative multimodal analgesia is crucial to prevent acute complications and the development of chronic postsurgical pain.
Emphasizes preventing acute postoperative pain to avoid CPSP; leaves open optimal preventive strategies.
Inadequate management of acute postoperative pain is associated with effects related to both physiological and psychological function. Postoperative pain increases the risk of perioperative complications, so postoperative pain should be prevented. Postoperative pain management by sufficient analgesia is important while considering the use of various kinds of analgesics. Insufficient management of postoperative pain may lead to chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). It is suggested that CPSP is dependent not only upon biological factors but also upon psychological factors, including the type of surgery, age, physical health, mental health, and preoperative pain. As CPSP is a severe complication that may prolong hospitalization and interferes with activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QoL), its prevention of development is paramount. Therefore, in order to prevent the onset of CPSP, it is necessary to craft analgesic management to prevent CPSP during the perioperative period.
