This webinar - held on 20 December 2023 - was the first of three webinars in a series being produced through a collaboration of the IASP's Acute Pain Special Interest Group and the European Pain Federation titled:
The learning objectives for this webinar series will prepare you to:
1) Demonstrate an understanding of relevant outcomes of managing pain after surgery.
2) Understand how regional anesthesia and parts of integrative medicine can demonstrate better outcomes.
3) Understand the impact of acute pain services and transitional pain services on pain outcomes.
4) Understand the benefits of monitoring patient reported outcomes.
The mission of IASP's Acute Pain Special Interest Group is “to study underlying mechanisms of acute pain, including the transition from acute to chronic pain, and the implications of acute pain therapy for clinical outcome and quality of life.”
Research is ongoing about the outcomes of postoperative pain management that are clinically important for better comfort and early recovery. Maintaining the capacity of daily functioning and to perform useful activities such as turning in bed, breathing deeply and coughing, sitting in a chair, etc., is known to be crucial for preventing complications.
Furthermore, it's become increasingly clear that the decades-old problem of undertreated postoperative pain is not because of lack of effective drugs or techniques but to a lack of an organized, multidisciplinary approach, such as acute pain services (APS) which uses existing treatments. Nowadays, expanding the role of the APS to an interdisciplinary Transitional Pain Service seems promising. Throughout this webinar, we explored the impact of acute pain services and transitional pain services on pain outcomes and discussed a potential research agenda.
Participants included:
-- Sandra van den Heuvel, PhD, FIPP, Radboud University Medical Center, Netherlands
Acute Pain Services in Europe: A Comparison of Four Country Provisions Using Donabedian's Framework
-- Esther Pogatzki-Zahn, MD, PhD, University Hospital Muenster, Germany
The Organization, Benefits, and Pitfalls of Transitional Pain Service
-- Felicia Cox, FRCN, Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals, London, UK (moderator)
-- Rianne L.M. van Boekel, PhD, RN, Radboud University Medical Center, Netherlands (moderator)
