Key result
Over 80% of patients experience moderate-to-severe acute postoperative pain, necessitating effective pharmacologic and interventional pain management strategies.
Why the study?
Over 80% of surgical patients experience moderate-to-severe acute pain, which limits recovery and is linked to adverse short- and long-term morbidity.
This review provides an overview of the consequences, assessment, and common therapies for managing postoperative acute pain.
Acute postoperative pain demands multidisciplinary clinician input; leaves open optimal pharmacologic-interventional protocols.
After surgery, over 80% of people experience moderate-to-severe acute pain. Poorly controlled postoperative pain limits recovery and is associated with detrimental short- and long-term morbidity. While surgeons have traditionally been responsible for postoperative pain management, all clinicians providing care for surgical patients have a basic understanding of common pharmacologic and interventional pain management strategies. In this review, we discuss the consequences of acute pain, approaches to pain assessment, and an overview of commonly used therapies to manage postoperative pain.
