Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Education may be provided by any healthcare professional who has undertaken appropriate training education, education on patient communication and education is usually included in the healthcare professional's training. One of the most obvious problems a person has to deal with after surgery is pain. There are many reasons why it is important to treat pain after surgery adequately and promptly. This study was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of multimodal analgesic regimen of morphine and Ibuprofen combined with ketorolac using IV PCA, and to study the effect of structured preoperative educational program on analgesic efficacy, incidence of adverse effects, and patients` satisfaction. Categorical data and proportions were analyzed using the χ2 test or the Fisher’s exact test as required. Student’s t test was used to compare the Physician-Pharmacist Co management of Postoperative means of the 2 groups with normal distributions, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare variables with non-normal distributions. All tests were 2-tailed, P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Morphine provides more effective postoperative analgesia than Ibuprofen when coadministered with ketorolac. The combination of ketorolac allowed more pronounced synergistic effect with morphine than that with Ibuprofen. Preoperative patient and nurse education improved analgesia and overall patient satisfaction with their pain treatment protocol; the patient can treat pain more in a more timely and individualized manner, thus, increasing pain-management satisfaction.
