“…The majority of the patients described their pain as cutting or sharp in contrast to the study of Aslan et al [17] which reported aching and throbbing being the main description and only 10% patients described their pain as sharp. Patients in a study by Janelle et al described post cardiac surgery pain as tender which was a milder form of pain.…”

Objective: To evaluate the quality of pain management in cardiac ICU patients by using a questionnaire. Methodology: All post cardiac surgery patients between 18 and 75 years old were included in this survey. Chronic pain patients, paediatric patients, emergency surgeries were excluded. A predesigned proforma was prepared according to American Pain Society recommendations and distributed among Cardiac ICU patients after 24 hours of extubation. This proforma was explained to the patients and collected later. The questionnaire was related to pain severity, aggravating and relieving factors, side effects of analgesics, affective experience and satisfaction with pain management. Results: Total 308 patients participated in one year period. 243 (78.9%) were male and 65 (21.1%) were female. Multimodal analgesia was used in most of the patients. Severity of pain was described as mild 70% and moderate 28.6%. Most of the patients complained of sharp pain 100 (37.5%), mainly at the site of incision 129 (41.9%). The main aggravating factor associated with increased pain was deep breathing 118 (39.8%) while pain was minimized by taking pain medications 40.6%. A significant association was found between preoperative counseling about pain options and satisfaction. 96.8% reported satisfaction with pain management. Conclusion: Although overall pain control was reported as adequate and patients were highly satisfied, there were areas which need further improvement. These include strategies to provide preoperative information about postoperative pain management and better training of medical staff to assess and manage pain. Additionally, the concerns and fears of patients about pain treatment need to be addressed.

“…The impact of pain on experience is well documented (Aslan, Badir, Arli, & Cakmakci, 2009;Dunham, Ingleton, Ryan, & Gott, 2013;Schoenwald & Clark, 2006). This study confirms the view that a disconnect often exists between perceptions of pain by the patient and provider (Sanderson, Morris, Calnan, Richards, & Hewlett, 2010).…”
