“…It is well known that pain scores are related to patient satisfaction scores. 13,22 We recognize that patient satisfaction with pain care is caught up in a complex dynamic wherein patients may demand more pain relief and staff may resist. 26 Still, this work suggests a variety of new hypotheses about the relationship between properties of a pain score trajectory and patient satisfaction (eg, Is AUC of the pain score trajectory a better predictor of patient satisfaction than some discrete measure of pain?).…”

“…Dedicated acute pain and regional anesthetic treatments are crucial for improving acute pain management, which can improve medical results and patient satisfaction and save costs. This would encourage healthcare providers to hire anesthesiologists with complete training in this field of study [16].…”

BackgroundAnesthesiology is a medical specialty that involves pre, intra, and postoperative surgical and medical procedures; it is a profession shaped by the clinician's medical knowledge and manual dexterity. To date, very few studies have addressed the selection criteria and factors associated with the applicant selection process for anesthesia residency programs in Saudi Arabia. ObjectivesWe aimed to define the criteria, factors, and guidelines for candidate selection in anesthesia residency programs in Saudi Arabia. MethodologyThis was a cross-sectional study conducted using electronic questionnaires that were distributed to anesthesiology program directors in Saudi Arabia via email. The questionnaire was divided into six sections, and each section included various parameters such as demographic data, cognitive/academic activities, noncognitive/non-academic activities, individual qualities, and red flags or negative factors of the individual. The participants rated each parameter, and the collected data were analyzed for statistical significance (p≤0.05). ResultsA total of 28 programs were included in this survey. All 14 parameters associated with individual qualities were found to be significantly important for applicant selection (p≤0.05). Except for delayed entry into residency after graduation, all 12 parameters associated with red flags or negative characteristics of individuals were significant for candidate selection (p≤0.05). ConclusionThe results showed that academic/cognitive factors and non-academic/non-cognitive factors, along with the individual characteristics of the applicant, were given priority when selecting candidates for anesthesiology residency programs in Saudi Arabia.

“…Information technology has emerged as one of the important non-pharmacologic and alternative therapies, complementing the traditional management of acute pain. (9) Using the Royal College of Anaesthesia(RoCA), acute pain management recipe protocol, (10) as the background, to assess our patients for acute postoperative pain, we found 83% adequate analgesia, which is a fairly satisfactory, however, needs to be improved to a 100%. Scandinavian University Hospital, studied the effectiveness and challenges encountered by the APS team, which showed, reduction in pain intensity acutely, lesser incidence of chronic pain state, even in patients with several comorbidities, such as, psychiatric diseases, opioid dependency and chronic pain.…”

BACKGROUND Pain along with the tools to assess the types, severity and treatment have been extensively studied over the last few decades, and guidelines formulated. However, assessment of pain services have only recently gained importance, to prevent improper pain management. There is a current drive to improve the state of pain management in India. Considering the relative lack of available literature, this study is aimed to provide an insight into the quality of acute pain services (APS) at our health centre. Primarily looking at outcomes, measuring efficiency, safety and timeliness of the APS, by identifying areas requiring improvement. METHODS Standards for the study were selected from the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) recipe book for acute pain services. Data was collected over a six months period. The study included all patients under the care of the institutional Acute Pain Service (APS). Inference was made with regard to the standards achieved. RESULTS An average of 700 patients per month, with 3-10 days care under the acute pain services, were assessed. Our team met 6 of the 11 standards laid out; 3 standards were not met but deemed acceptable, and 2 standards were found to require improvement. 83% (n=3901) were deemed to have had adequate analgesia. 88% of patient days were GOOD (only pain scores of 0-3), 9% BORDERLINE (incidences of isolated high pain scores) and 3% POOR (incidences of consequently high pain score) pain control. CONCLUSIONS This study identified a number of ways in which hospitals could improve their acute pain services. Continual development in following standardised guidelines, protocols, arrangement of ongoing training and education of pain team are of paramount importance, for the efficacy of the pain services. These were highlighted and upgraded. These simple measures can be recommended to be implemented for improvement of the acute pain management services in any hospital in India.
