A review of methods for relief of postoperative pain

M E Dodson. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 1982 Sep.

Abstract

Methods available for the relief of postoperative pain are reviewed. The use of intermittent injections of morphine is likely to remain the established method and suggestions are made for its more effective use. Newer methods are discussed in terms of their expense and the effects on medical and nursing workload. It is suggested that nurses trained in pain relief methods could greatly improve the relief of pain following operation.
