Cardiac surgery is a common intervention that involves several pain-sensitive structures, and intense postoperative pain predictor of persistent pain.To describe characteristics (i.e. intensity, location, interference, relief) analgesic intake preoperatively across days 1 to 4 after cardiac surgery, explore associations between demographic clinical characteristics.Four hundred sixteen patients (24% women) undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve were enrolled in...
Relevant discharge information about the use of analgesic medication and other strategies may help patients to manage their pain more effectively prevent postoperative persistent pain.To examine patients' characteristics, intake impact an educational management booklet intervention on control after cardiac surgery.

Tens of thousands cardiac and vascular surgeries (CaVS) are performed on seniors in Canada the United Kingdom each year to improve survival, relieve disease symptoms, health-related quality life (HRQL). However, chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), undetected or delayed detection hemodynamic compromise, complications, related poor functional status major problems for substantial numbers patients during recovery process. To tackle this problem, we aim refine test effectiveness an eHealth-enabled...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pain‐related misbeliefs among health care professionals (HCPs) are common and contribute to ineffective postoperative pain assessment. While standardized patients (SPs) have been effectively used improve HCPs’ assessment skills, not all centres SP programs.
