      The goal of modern postoperative pain management is to relieve pain while keeping side effects to a minimum. Still, in recent investigations, between 20% and 40% of all postoperative patients report high levels of pain after surgery, while 20-30% experience adverse effects of opioid analgetics [1,2]. In a study, in which the hospitals had introduced pain management guided by the patients' own ...

      Background. We recently introduced the efficacy safety score (ESS) as a new “call-out algorithm” for management of postoperative pain and side effects. In this study, we report the influence of ESS recorded hourly during the first 8 hours after surgery on the mobility degree, postoperative nonsurgical complications, and length of hospital stay (LOS). Methods. We randomized 1152 surgical patients ...
