چکیده

Postoperative pain assessment was reviewed as part of an ongoing update of evidence base behind management protocols at the regional neonatal surgical unit at St Mary’s hospital, Manchester. This article reviews the current knowledge base and demonstrates evidence-based methodology to determine a neonatal postoperative pain assessment tool. The main objective of this review is to establish what would be the most suitable method to assess postoperative pain in neonates. A systematic literature search and critical appraisal of the relevant literature was carried out to ascertain what methods have been developed, how effective they are in assessing pain, and to consider their suitability for clinical use on the neonatal surgical unit at St Mary’s Hospital and similar units.
