Summary
The Acute Perioperative Pain Service (APPS) improves patient care, especially for high-risk individuals. This service is evolving into Transitional Pain Services (TPS) to ensure continuity of care and manage complex postoperative pain effectively.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Pain Medicine
- Surgical Care
Background:
- Acute Perioperative Pain Service (APPS) is a critical development in patient care.
- Many surgical centers have established APPS with varying structures.
- Effective management of acute postoperative pain remains a challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the purpose of APPS.
- To examine the clinical and economic implications of APPS.
- To explore the future direction of APPS.
Main Methods:
- This is a review article.
- Investigates existing literature and evidence on APPS.
- Focuses on the evolution and impact of perioperative pain management.
Main Results:
- Growing evidence supports the benefits of dedicated APPS, particularly for high-risk patients.
- Continuity of care, including preoperative evaluation and post-discharge follow-up, is crucial.
- Transitional Pain Service (TPS) is an emerging model for enhanced care continuity.
Conclusions:
- APPS is becoming the standard of care for postoperative pain management.
- The role of APPS is expanding globally.
- Effective perioperative pain management is essential for patient outcomes.

01:25Analgesia and Pain Management
668
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

01:24General Anesthesia: Overview
245
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

01:29Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia
460
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
