BACKGROUND Evidence from clinical practice and the extant literature suggests that post-operative pain assessment and treatment is often suboptimal. Poor pain management is likely to persist until pain management practices become consistent with guidelines developed from the best available scientific evidence. This work will address the priority in healthcare of improving the quality of pain ma...

Background: Optimal pain control in a parturient woman undergoing caesarean section is essential for preventing complications and improving maternal satisfaction, early functional recovery, mother-baby bond breastfeeding. Intentional assessment adequate management to acceptable severity using multimodal methods can be achieved low-middle income countries (LMICs).

Perioperative pain management with an emphasis on preemptive analgesia and multimodal analgesia is essential to minimize patient morbidity.

Postsurgical pain is normally perceived as nociceptive pain.

Indeed pain is one of the three most common medical causes of delayed discharge after ambulatory surgery, the other two being drowsiness and nausea/ vomiting. ...

conclusions: patients who were given ketamine before or after cesarean section subcutaneously at incision site had lower pain intensity and less analgesic consumption than patients who were given placebo. patients and methods: sixty patients, aged between 18 and 25 years old, scheduled for elective cesarean section, were enrolled to this double-blind randomized controlled trial study. patients ...

INTRODUCTION The distinctive characteristics of the German health system are medical progress and financial pressure-and this is especially true of the hospitals. These challenges must be met by strategic management instruments for quality assurance, and by reducing costs. PURPOSE This article presents the instrument "clinical pathway" (also known as "clinical treatment pathway") and describe...

This review focuses on newer medications for the treatment of pain as well as on new guidelines and indications for the use of established medications. With regard to classical analgesics, the use of non-opioids and opioids is reviewed. Here are relevant new data on the use of the old substance acetaminophen as well as on non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the newe...
