Background

• Postoperative pain is a key issue for patients

• Large surveys indicate patients are more concerned about pain (59%) than surgical outcome (51%)

• Unfortunately, this concern remains justified

Anesth Analg 2003:97:534

Page 4: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Background

• Multiple surveys report continued poor postoperative pain control

• Most recently in 2003– 250 adults– Mix of in-patient and ambulatory– 75% reported experiencing pain during or

after surgery– 73% reported moderate to severe pain

Page 5: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Is postoperative pain that bad?

• Inherently, who wants pain– Guidelines from:

• WHO• APS• ASA

• Regulatory requirement: JCAHO• Key patient satisfaction surveys: Press Ganey• Pain can create bad outcomes

– Morbidity– HRQOL– Development of chronic pain

What can one do?

• Acute Pain Services are popular and effective

• Typically expensive

• Typically manage PCA modalities

How well is pain controlled after the APS signs off?

• What happens after the APS signs off?

• Typically, the surgeons alone manage postoperative pain with po analgesia and write the home prescriptions

• Not so good per patient surveys

• Same here at HSS

• In March 2007– Negative patient letters

Page 15: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Recuperative Pain Medicine• RPM rolled out in

August 2007– Recurrent negative

themes in patient letters, comments, and New York Times editorials

• Post-PCA patients experienced inadequate pain management with oral analgesics

• Post-PCA patients did not have easy access to a pain management expert

Page 16: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Based on these reports, a plan was formed

• Multidisciplinary team– Surgeon in Chief– Anesthesiologist in Chief– Executive Leadership– Director of Risk Management– Director of APS– Director of CPS– CAMS– Director of Patient education

Page 18: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

How to measure impact?

• No currently standardized, validated tools• We chose 3 outcome measure for before and

after implementation measurement– Press Ganey Survey

• Administered to all postoperative patients to assess satisfaction

• Has specific questions on pain management• Benchmarked against similar institutions

– Staff satisfaction survey– Number of calls to Helpline

• Less is better• Do all the work upfront

Page 19: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Preoperative educational role of RPM

• Worked with Patient education to update and expand sections on perioperative analgesia for pre-operative patient education classes for total joint replacement and spine surgery

Page 20: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Clinical role of RPM

• Designed to fill identified gaps

• Provide a seamless transition from the IV/Epidural PCA to oral medications

• Continued pain management monitoring thru to discharge.

• The RPM service collaborates with both the Acute Pain Service and Chronic Pain Service.

Page 21: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Administrative and Educational Role of RPM for postoperative care• Created discharge medication

policy– Correct meds– Enough pain meds until first FU

visit

• Created discharge booklet – Written resource for patients

on basic pain management information.

• Expectations for pain control• Common pain medications• Common expected side

effects

– All inpatients receive at discharge.

RPM Patient Volume

• Since August 2007, the volume of inpatient consults has steadily increased yearly

• Confirming need for further medical pain management after discontinuation of PCA therapy.

Impact of Reuben retractions

• NSAIDs– No effect as no RCT retracted

• COX2– Only 1 RCT with 60 patients retracted– One additional RCT demonstrating analgesic

benefit with celecoxib in TKR• BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2008;9:77.

• Acetaminophen– No effect as no RCT retracted

Figure 3. Effect of preoperative gabapentin on postoperative opioid consumption

Page 43: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Side effects

• Reduction in opioid related side effects– Nausea: NNT=25– Vomiting: NNT=6– Urinary retention: NNT=7

• Adverse effects– Sedation: NNH=35– Dizziness: NNH=12

Page 44: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Pregabalin

• Laparoscopic hysterectomy– Opioid sparing– Increased dizziness

• Laparoscopy– Better analgesia– Trend toward increased dizziness

• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy– Better analgesia– Opioid sparing BJA 2008:101:700

Page 45: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Conclusions

• Discussed agents are efficacious

• Modest benefit

• NSAIDs and gabapentanoids have most to offer– Reduced opioid consumption– Reduced side effects– NSAIDs have more risk

Page 46: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Non-traditional techniques

• Acupuncture• Music• Static magnet• Massage

Acupuncture

• May also depend on belief system

• 47/47 studies from China, Japan, and Taiwan found efficacy

• 53/96 studies from US, UK, and Sweden found efficacy

Music

Page 54: Postoperative pain control What to do after PCA? Spencer S. Liu, MD Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology Director Acute and Recuperative Pain Services.

Music

• Several RCTs

• Soft, relaxing music vs none during general anesthesia– Open inguinal hernia repair– Varicose vein stripping– Hysterectomy

• Very modest and short lived benefit from music Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2003:47, 278

Summary

• RPM service is efficacious– Probably cost effective– Can use different staffing models

• Optimize systemic analgesics

• Role of CAMS?– Acupuncture has best evidence
