Description
This is the second 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:
Improving Outcomes of Postoperative Pain Management: The Way to Go
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.
In this webinar, we will examine outcomes of postoperative pain management, with a particular focus on regional anesthesia and integrative medicine. These will be explored through a discussion of patient reported outcome measures and how to provide practical and evidence-based recommendations to prevent and treat postoperative pain.
Participants include:
-- Esther Pogatzki-Zahn, MD, PhD, University Hospital Muenster, Germany
Patient reported outcomes from the IMI PainCare PROMPT
-- Patricia Lavand'homme, MD, PhD, University Catholic of Louvain, Brussels, Belgium
How can PROSPECT improve patient function?
-- Rianne L.M. van Boekel, PhD, RN, Radboud University Medical Center, Netherlands
Physical function in postoperative pain management - what should we measure?
