Many studies have demonstrated that the management of pain after surgery was unsatisfactory. New pain management techniques have been developed in recent years (patient-controlled analgesia, epidural analgesia). To extend the number of patients who may benefit from these recent techniques and/or to obtain the best efficacy from existing methods of pain relief, re-organisation should take place on surgical wards. For example, protocols describing pain management strategies should be written. Surveys and audits should be carried out regularly to check their efficacy. Moreover, patients should be fully informed of the range of treatments available and their adverse effects. Finally, all staff involved in providing acute pain relief should undergo training.
