Simplified Pain Management Including Fentanyl TTS in PACU Patients With Hip Fracture Surgery to Improve Patients' Well-Being: A Double-Blind Randomized Trial. J Perianesth Nurs 2024; 39:461-467. [PMID: 38085188 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Adequate pain management is eminently relevant for elderly and more vulnerable patients with hip fractures in the setting of pre and postoperative pain. This study compares postoperative hip fracture patients treated with standard pain management with a variety of medications or an approach with only one option in each medication category (nonopioid: acetaminophen; opioid: fentanyl TTS 12,5 mcg/hour; rescue medication: piritramide) to simplify the treatment algorithm for nurses and improve patient well-being. DESIGN Double-blind randomized controlled trial. METHODS The sample was cognitively intact patients (N = 141) with hip fractures in a tertiary university hospital. Administration of fentanyl 12 mcg/hour transdermal therapeutic system was administered by the nurses in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) to address basal wound pain to improve patient well-being and patient treatment in the PACU for 24 hours to better control for early complications. FINDINGS Well-being was equally increased in both groups in comparison to our preintervention data from 35.7% to over 60% and did not differ significantly between the intervention and control group. No statistically significant differences in numeric rating scale scores, rescue opioid dosage (piritramide i.v.) or in complications were present. CONCLUSIONS This one-size-fits-all simplified pain management approach did not improve patient well-being or any other outcome but highlighted the importance of adequate pain management and a sufficient nurse-to-patient ratio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-traumatic emergency general surgery involves a heterogeneous population that may present with several underlying diseases. Timeous emergency surgical treatment should be supplemented with high-quality perioperative care, ideally performed by multidisciplinary teams trained to identify and handle complex postoperative courses. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled acute postoperative pain may result in significant complications. While pain management after elective surgery has been standardized in perioperative pathways, the traditional perioperative treatment of patients undergoing emergency surgery is often a haphazard practice. The present recommended pain management guidelines are for pain management after non-traumatic emergency surgical intervention. It is meant to provide clinicians a list of indications to prescribe the optimal analgesics even in the absence of a multidisciplinary pain team. MATERIAL AND METHODS An international expert panel discussed the different issues in subsequent rounds. Four international recognized scientific societies: World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS), Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia Intensive Care (SIAARTI), and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), endorsed the project and approved the final manuscript. CONCLUSION Dealing with acute postoperative pain in the emergency abdominal surgery setting is complex, requires special attention, and should be multidisciplinary. Several tools are available, and their combination is mandatory whenever is possible. Analgesic approach to the various situations and conditions should be patient based and tailored according to procedure, pathology, age, response, and available expertise. A better understanding of the patho-mechanisms of postoperative pain for short- and long-term outcomes is necessary to improve prophylactic and treatment strategies.

Abstract
There is an ever-increasing number of opioid users among chronic pain patients and safely managing them can be challenging for surgeons, anesthesiologists, pain experts, and addiction specialists. Healthcare providers must be familiar with phenomena typical of opioid users and abusers, including tolerance, physical dependence, hyperalgesia, and addiction. Insufficient pain management is very common in these patients. Patient-centered preoperative communication is integral to setting realistic expectations for postoperative pain, developing successful nonopioid analgesic regimens, minimizing opioid consumption during the postoperative period, and decreasing the number of opioid pills at the risk of diversion. Preoperative evaluation should identify comorbidities and identify risk factors for substance abuse and withdrawal. Intraoperative and postoperative strategies can ensure safe and effective pain management and minimize the potential for morbidity and mortality in this high-risk patient population.
