Key result

Preoperative pain education significantly reduced average postoperative pain scores compared to routine care (17.25 vs 32.17) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Why the study?

The study evaluated the association of pre-operative pain education with postoperative pain perception among patients undergoing CABG.

Does preoperative pain education reduce postoperative pain in patients undergoing CABG?

Overview

Preoperative pain education reduces post-CABG pain scores; supports routine perioperative use and extends RCT evidence for patient education.

Study Design

Type

RCT (n=80)

Randomization

Simple random sampling

Multicenter

No

Structured PICO

Does preoperative pain education reduce postoperative pain in patients undergoing CABG?

P
Population
80 adult patients aged 50 to 80 years undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, free of psychiatric disorders or opioid addiction, were evaluated for postoperative pain perception on the 5th postoperative day.
I
Intervention
Preoperative pain education (booklet by Canadian Pain Society) given one day before surgery.
C
Comparator
Routine in-hospital pre-operative care alone.
O
Outcome
Postoperative pain perception measured by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) scale and postoperative clarification of pain management.patient reported

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 17.25% vs 32.17%

p-value: p=<0.0001

Preoperative pain education significantly reduces postoperative pain perception and improves pain management preparedness in patients undergoing CABG.

Limitations

  • Small sample size

Sadiqa et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=80). Preoperative pain education vs. Routine in-hospital pre-operative care was evaluated on Average pain score on the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) scale (p=<0.0001). Preoperative pain education significantly reduced average postoperative pain scores compared to routine care (17.25 vs 32.17) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
