Definition of Pain
An Unpleasant Sensory and Emotional
Experience Associated with Actual or
Potential Tissue Damage, or Described
in Terms of Such Damage.
Acute Pain
Pain in Perioperative Setting
 Pain in Patients with Severe or
Concurrent Medical Illnesses
(Pancreatitis)
 Acute Pain Related to Cancer or Cancer
Treatment
 Labor Pain

Acute Perioperative Pain
Pain that is Present in a Surgical
Patient Because of Preexisting
Disease, the Surgical Procedure,
or a Combination of Both
Importance of
Pain Management
Adequate Pain Control
 Reduce the Risk of Adverse Outcomes
 Maintain the Patient’s Functional Ability,
as well as Psychological Well-being
 Enhance the Quality of Life
 Shortened Hospital Stay and Reduced
Cost

Adverse Outcomes Associated
with Management of
Acute Pain
Respiratory Depression
 Circulatory Depression
 Sedation
 Nausea and Vomiting
 Pruritus
 Urinary Retention
 Impairment of Bowel Function

Adverse Outcome of
Undertreatment of Acute Pain
Thromboembolic or Pulmonary
Complications
 Needless Suffering
 Development of Chronic Pain

The Incidence of Moderate to
Severe Pain with Cardiac,
Abdominal, and Orthopedic
Inpatient Procedures has been
Reported as High as 25%-50%,
and Incidence of Moderate Pain
after Ambulatory Procedures is
25% or Higher.
Goal
Pain Management Interventions Should
be Offered Around the Clock
 Pain Management is to Provide
Continuous Pain Relief
 Patient Should be Assessed for
Adequacy of Pain Control

Preoperative Evaluation
of the Patient
Type of Surgery
 Expected Severity of Postoperative Pain
 Underlying Medical Condition
(Respiratory or Cardiac Disease)

Preoperative Preparation
of the Patient
Adjustment or Continuation of
Medications (Sudden Cessation may
Provoke a Withdrawal Syndrome)
 Treatment to Reduce Preexisting Pain
and Anxiety
 Patient and Family Education

Pain Assessment Tools
Pain Assessment Tools

In Adults: Self Report Measurement
Scales, such as Numerical Scales
Pain Assessment Tools

In Pediatric Patients:
 Physiologic and Behavioral Indicators
of Pain ( Infants, Toddlers, Nonverbal
or Critically Ill Children)
 Face Scale (Age 3-10 yrs)


Surrounds the Dural
Sac
Anteriorly: Post.
Long. Ligament
Posteriorly:
Ligamentum Flavum
Laterally: Pedicles and
Intervertebral Foramina
Anatomy of Epidural Space
AP Dimension of the Epidural Space is
Largest in the Lumbar Region, 5-6 mm
 In Thoracic Region the AP Dimension
Decreases but the Space is More
Continuous

MIDLINE SAGITTAL VIEW OF THE LUMBAR SPINE
Epidural Anesthesia



Anesthestizes the Emerging Nerve Roots of
the Spinal Cord
Epidural Injection of Anesthetic Produces a
Regional Dermatomal “band” of Anesthesia
Spreading Cephalad and Caudad from the
Site of Injection
Level of Anesthesia Depends on :
 Volume of the Drug
 Level of Injection
Epidural Anesthesia
Lumbar Epidural: Lower Extrimity,
Pelvic, and Lower Abdominal
Procedures
 Thoracic Epidural: Upper Abdomen and
Thoracic Procedures
 Caudal Injection: More Commonly Used
for Pediatric Patients (Genitourinary and
Lower Abdominal Procedures)

Advantages

Emboli
Decrease Blood Loss Intraoperatively during
Orthopedic, Urologic, Gynecologic and
Obstetric Procedures

Analgesia





Failure of Block (Patchy or Unilateral Block)
Injury to Nerve
Infection
Epidural Hematoma or Abscess
Dural Puncture (Total Spinal or PDPH)
Complications of Epidural
Analgesia

Side Effect of Drugs in Epidural Space
- Hypotension Secondary to Sympathetic Blockade
- Intravascular Injection (Local Anesthetic Toxicity)
- Respiratory Depression
- Sedation
- Bladder Distention
- Difficulty in Ambulation
Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal Anesthesia is Induced by
Injecting Small Amount of Local
Anesthetic (Bupivicaine) in the CSF
 Results in Rapid Onset of Block
 More Rapid Onset and Requiring less
Medicine Compared to Epidural
Analgesia

Spinal Anesthesia

(Duramorph) Provides Pain Relief for
Abdominal, Pelvic, or Lower Extrimity
Surgeries
 Complications Similar to Epidural
Technique Except for Higher Risk of
PDPH

