Case Study of a Patient with Acute on Chronic Pain Following Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2011
Abstract
The aim of this case study is to critically explore the holistic care of a patient who requires pain management in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU). The development of chronic pain can have a significant psychological impact as well as a debilitating physical effect. The article examines pain assessment tools used in the PACU as well as barriers to their implementation. Finally, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological holistic care interventions are examined.
