Le résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the management of postoperative pain in the Point G teaching hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out a prospective study, in 2008. Inclusion criteria for the personnel: be a staff member from the department of surgery or anaesthesia reanimation; willing to fill out the questionnaire. Inclusion criteria for patients: to be operated and hospitalized in one of the departments of surgery and anaesthesia reanimation. RESULTS: We collated the responses of 600 patients and 113 personnel. 92% of the patients underwent post-operative analgesia. The delay between the request and treatment of the patient was extensive in 92% of cases. The medical personnel and nursing staff had not received specific training on treating the pain in respectively 55% and 70% of cases. We noted an absence of informational support and of pre-established consensual protocols, written and validated on the management of postoperative pains. CONCLUSION: The treatment of the postoperative pains shows important shortcomings within the Point G teaching hospital and these insufficiencies are found across levels.
