Abstract
Postoperative pain management by analgesics use has become a major medical and nursing challenge in all over the world. Due to the various constraints, analgesics use in postoperative pain management in Bangladesh has got greater attention from the scientist and policy makers. We conducted an observational study to assess the, effect of postoperative analgesics used in patients in several private clinics, Bangladesh. Subject selection was purposive who were admitted in the selected clinics from January 2017 to December 2017. We recorded patient’s demographics, postoperative pain orders, and analgesia regime on the day of surgery. Anesthesia team, which included one of the investigators, assessed the overall pain since the time of surgery by visual analogue scale (VAS) and also recorded any complications since the time of surgery and patients’ satisfaction with the pain management. A total of 150 patients were reviewed during the study period. The common modality of pain management was intravenous opioid infusion (94%) and co-analgesia was used in 99% of patients. The analysis of pain at rest by VAS was between 1 and 3 in 89.7%, 4 and 6 in 9.5%, and 7 and 10 in 0.8% of patients. The VAS on movement was 1–3 in 60.1%, 4–6 in 33.1%, and 7–10 in 6.8% of patients. Patients’ opinion regarding postoperative pain management was satisfactory in 76.60% of patients and unsatisfactory in 23.40% of patients. In the conclusion, the regime for postoperative pain management by analgesics use was not adequately satisfied.
