“…1,2 In our study, the rate of applying multimodal analgesia was 71.6%, which is between 6.6% and 42.8% of trauma patients in the literature. 6,10,11 The published guidelines stated that appropriate multimodal anal-gesia techniques should be applied to the patient in acute pain. 4,9,12,13 Studies have shown that multimodal analgesia reduces pain, the amount of opioid consumption, and severe the side effects such as respiratory depression.…”

Objective: This study aimed to reduce the side effects of multiple pain sources and investigate the effectiveness of multiple analgesics in trauma pain. Materıals and Methods: The research was conducted with nurse observation forms of 190 trauma patients hospitalised in the emergency unit of a university hospital between March 1 and September 30, 2019. In the statistical analysis, per cent mean, min-max values and standard deviation were used for descriptive data. Paired Simle t-test was used for repeated measurements of the double-dependent variable. Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 40.94±15.18 years, and 65.8% were male. While the cause of 47.9% of traumas is traffic accidents, 37.9% of the patients have multiple traumas. The pain was evaluated in 55.7% of the patients, and multimodal analgesia was applied in 71.6% of the patients, and it was determined that the pain of the patients decreased. Conclusions: Accordingly, this study supports the treatment of trauma pain with multiple sources of pain with a multimodal analgesia approach. In addition, the pain was not appropriately assessed as recommended in the acute pain guidelines. Therefore, nurses should increase awareness of pain assessment records for effective pain management.
