| Popis: | Background Pain control should be a subject of training in day surgery and specific updating courses for medical and nursing staff in the day hospital and in general for specialized personnel should be done. The ABC acronym may help to remember the fundamental points of pain treatment in day surgery: — assessment: systematic evaluation of pain as the 5th vital parameter; — balanced analgesia: prefer multimodal techniques with the association of nonopioids, opioids and locoregional anesthesia; — continuous audit: continuous verification of patient satisfaction levels; — discharge: discharge the patient with written instruction for home treatment of pain, including details on rescue doses; —education: the education process of the staff (anesthetists, surgeons, nurses) should be continuous and also involve physicians in general medicine. |
