Popis: | The purpose of the present investigation is to provide a comprehensive review of both patient and procedure specific predictors of acute postoperative pain. As the global number of surgeries continues to increase, as well as evidence of worse patient outcomes in those who suffer from poorly controlled postoperative pain, it is becoming more critical for perioperative physicians to have a deep understanding of the risks which might lead to increased pain in the immediate postoperative settings. It is also important to recognize potential tools to prevent the development and intensity of surgical pain. This manuscript begins with an investigation of the theorized mechanisms of postoperative pain, at the peripheral and central levels, which is followed by a discussion of current pain evaluation in humans. Additionally, an evaluation of patient- and procedure-specific predictors for the development of acute pain is summarized. As operative and patient specific risk factors continue to be revealed, they will ultimately serve as important tools to provide high-quality individualized patient care aimed at reducing incidence of severe postsurgical pain. |
