An acute postoperative pain service managed by the anaesthetic department of a metropolitan teaching hospital is described and the results of a quality assurance questionnaire survey of 116 nurses and 60 doctors are reported. Since its inception in 1990, the service has managed the postoperative pain of 1787 patients with patient controlled analgesia and epidural and other regional analgesia. The study found that 97% of nurses and 92% of doctors believed that patients whose pain is well managed have fewer postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays than patients whose pain is not well managed. Both nurses and doctors who had experienced the pain service supported the increased use of patient controlled analgesia pumps and neither group believed that the acute pain service interfered with their management of patients.
本文描述了一家大都市教学医院麻醉科管理的急性术后疼痛服务，并报告了对116名护士和60名医生进行的质量保证问卷调查结果。自1990年成立以来，该服务通过患者自控镇痛、硬膜外镇痛和其他区域镇痛等方式，管理了1787例患者的术后疼痛。研究发现，97%的护士和92%的医生认为，疼痛得到良好管理的患者比疼痛管理不善的患者术后并发症更少，住院时间更短。体验过疼痛服务的护士和医生都支持增加患者自控镇痛泵的使用，两组都不认为急性疼痛服务会干扰他们对患者的管理。
