Middle East Journal of Anesthesiology, 10/06/09

Jawaid M et al. – At 12 hours postoperatively mean rest and dynamic pain scores were 3.85 ± 2.45 and 5.32 ± 2.61 respectively. At 24 hours postoperatively mean rest and dynamic pain scores were 2.84 ± 1.86 and 4.65 ± 2.47 respectively. Overall, female patients experienced more pain but there was no statistically significant difference apart from rest pain at 24 hours. Forty–seven (44.8%) patients were very satisfied, 42 (40%) moderately satisfied and 16 (15.2%) patients were mildly satisfied with the pain management. Overall management of acute postoperative pain by surgical team in a tertiary care hospital was satisfactory. Most of patients were moderately to very satisfied by the care provided.
