To assess and management of post-operative pain in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery
Materials and method
Six months were spent doing the study. For the current study, 100 patients were chosen during a six-month period from the IPD based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Information on the patient's demographics, diagnosis, orthopedic procedure, name and kind of surgery, mechanism of injury, fracture site, and pain score was gathered from case files. The kind of analgesic used and its effectiveness were also examined. A set of questions was created and given to the patients. Questions on pain experienced and anticipated, response time of the APMS, the effectiveness of pain relief during treatment, the professionalism of the APMS team, the overall pain relief experience, and selecting or recommending the same modality for oneself, one's family, or one's friends were among them. Most of the choices utilized a five-point Likert scale.
Results
Among the 100 patients, 62 were male and 38 were female. Fall were the most common mode of injury (63%) and limbs were most commonly affected - lower limb 52% and upper limb 40%. The most common indication for hospitalization was fracture and diclofenac were the most commonly prescribed drug. The distribution of drugs prescribed according to the pain are Diclofenac was most often prescribed (77%), Paracetamol was found 58% among prescribed analgesics, Tramadol was found to be given in 10% of total analgesics.
Conclusion
Pain intensity scales should be used to practice assessing pain in order to prescribe the appropriate analgesic based on the severity of the patient's suffering. The majority of patients had discomfort throughout the recovery phase, however as the hours after surgery went by, the amount of pain lessened. Positive input on APMS's function was obtained via the patient satisfaction survey, which was used to track the caliber of treatment the organization delivered. This serves as a tool to assess the quality of care as well as aid in identifying areas that need improvement.
