INTRODUCTION
![Page 4: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage.”IASP (1979)
Definition of pain
• Implies emotional component.• Pain can exist without tissue
damage.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PAIN
• Involves four physiological processes:
- Transduction
- Transmission
- Modulation
- Perception

Pain Language
• Acute pain: lasts less than 6 months, subsides once the healing process is accomplished.
• Chronic pain: involves complex processes and pathology. Usually involves altered anatomy and neural pathways. It is constant and prolonged, lasting longer than 6 months, and sometimes, for life.
![Page 10: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why Treat Pain?
• Basic human right!
• ↓ pain and suffering
• ↓ complications of unreleived pain
• ↓ chronic pain development
• ↑ patient satisfaction
• ↑ speed of recovery → ↓ length of stay → ↓ cost
• ↑ productivity and quality of life

Barriers to Effective Pain Management
● Multidisciplinary factors
- lack of knowledge
- failure to recognize multi - faceted nature of pain
- poor interpretation of information
● Patient factors
- unwillingness to report pain
- non compliance with treatment
- lack of knowledge / information

COMPLICATIONS OF
UNRELIEVED PAIN
![Page 13: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pain may be undertreated
Physicians may have concern that pain medications will:
- worsen hemodynamic instability - produce harmful or long-lasting metabolites in the
setting of multiple organ dysfunction - Impair the ability to examine a patient’s mental status.
However, these concerns must be balanced against harmful effects of undertreatment of pain.

PAIN ASSESSMENT
![Page 19: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pain Assessment
“One of the most important functions of the nurse is to alleviate the suffering of people who are experiencing pain”
Schofield P(1995)
![Page 20: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why we assess pain ?• To establish degree and nature of pain
• To ensure patient comfort
• To evaluate effectiveness of analgesia
• To help alleviate anxiety
• To decide on type of analgesia
• To aid recovery and prevent complications
![Page 21: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When should pain be measured
• Usually asked when pt. are resting .
• Better indicator is assessment of pain during coughing , deep breathing or movement .
• Regular reassessment .
![Page 22: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How to assess pain
• Communication with patient is essential
• Observe for changes in physiological signs
• Consider pain as 5th vital sign
• Use a pain scoring system
![Page 23: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Guideline do not suggest that vital signs be used alone for pain assessment in adult ICU patients. Guideline suggest that vital signs may be used as a cue to begin further assessment of pain in these patients,
Assess pain ≥ 4 times per shift & as needed

Management of acute painAnalgesic drugs are used to treat acute pain,
the choice of drug dependent on the intensity of pain being experienced.
![Page 36: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

What is the “Best Way” to manage acute pain?
• FIRST , DO NO HARMTherefore , the “best way” is a BALANCE
Patient Safety
Effective AnalgesicModalities

How do we do it?• Multimodal analgesia : Several analgesics with
different mechanisms of action , each working at different sites in the nervous system
• Acetaminophen
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• Opioids
• NMDA Antagonists
• Local anaesthetics
• Non-pharmacologic methods
![Page 39: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Methods of administration• Epidural Analgesia• Patient Controlled Analgesia [ intra - venous ]• Intra Muscular Injection• Sub Cutaneous• Oral• Rectal [ suppositories ]• Transdermal• Inhalation [ gas ]• Regional Nerve Blocks e.g. Paravertebral, Brachial Plexus block.• Wound Infiltration
![Page 40: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Opioid
Opioid is a blanket term used for any drug which binds to the opioid receptors in the CNS.
![Page 41: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Opioids for acute pain (ARI)• Morphine• Diamorphine• Fentanyl • Oxycodone• Tramadol• MST continus• Hydormorphone• Codeine• Dihydrocodeine
![Page 42: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Adverse effects of opioids• Respiratory Depression
• Sedation
• Nausea and Vomiting
• Pruritus
• Urinary retention
• Hallucinations
![Page 43: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
PARACETAMOL
Mechanism of action: ? Selective inhibition of
prostaglandin synthesis in CNS
Analgesic and antipyretic
Oral , rectal and intravenous prep
Useful adjunct
![Page 44: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
NSAIDS• Work at site of tissue injury to prevent the formation
of the nociceptive mediators Prostaglandins.• Can decrease opioid use ~30% therefore decreasing
opioid-related side effects• NSAIDs should be the first-line drug for treatment
of mild to moderate pain & should be used in combination with opioids for more severe pain .
• Adv. : no sedation , resp. depression , N&V.– Side effects : GI upset , gastric ulcers , decrease
renal medullary blood flow , reversible inhibition of platelet function
![Page 45: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
NSAIDS• Newer NSAIDS selectively (primarily) inhibit
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which is induced by surgical trauma with minimal effect on COX-1 which is responsible for GI and platelet side effects
• Equivalent analgesic efficacy with non-selective COX-inhibitors
• No effects on platelets!
• Much reduced incidence of upper GI S/E compared to non-selective
• Duration of action about 24 hr.
![Page 46: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
NMDA Receptor Antagonists • Ketamine : - Ketamine 0.15 - 0.3 mg/kg IV with induction of
general anesthesia has pre-emptive analgesic effects - less pain and less opioid use post-op
- Low dose (0.25-0.5 mg/kg) IV bolus followed by infusion of 2-4 µg/kg/min , can provide significant analgesia.
- Ketamine as co-analgesic , combined 1:1 with morphine IV PCA . Better analgesia , less S/E
![Page 47: postoperative pain assessment and management](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d4a21af795980298b52b8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Dexmedetomidine :- Highly selective - Highly selective αα22 agonist. agonist.
- Does not depress the respiratory drive.- Does not depress the respiratory drive.
- Causes- Analgesia dose-dependent , sedation - Causes- Analgesia dose-dependent , sedation (“(“Cooperative sedationCooperative sedation”), anxiolysis.”), anxiolysis.
- Reduction in Sympathetic tone.- Reduction in Sympathetic tone.- Useful adjunct to both opioid & non-opioid analgesicUseful adjunct to both opioid & non-opioid analgesic.- Side effects : Bradycardia , Hypotension
- Dose : Loading dose – 1 µg/kg i.v. over 10 min , followed by infusion of 0.2-0.7 µg/kg/hr.
- Metabolised by liver & excreted in urine.
