Neadekvatus skausmo gydymas po širdies operacijų lemia sumažėjusį ligonių aktyvumą, sukelia emocinį diskomfortą, nerimą, sutrikdo miegą, neigiamai veikia kvėpavimo funkciją, padidina miokardo infarkto, širdies nepakankamumo, tromboembolinių komplikacijų riziką. Tinkamas pooperacinio skausmo malšinimas ne tik gerina ligonio gyvenimo kokybę, pagreitina sveikimą ir visišką funkcijų atsitaisymą, bet ir glaudžiai susijęs su ligonio gydymo stacionare trukme, sumažina gydymo išlaidas. Pooperacinio skausmo gydymo svarba jau seniai neabejojama. Nors informacijos apie ūminio skausmo patogenezę ir jo gydymo patirties sukaupta nemažai, deja, nėra priimto skausmo malšinimo po širdies operacijų „aukso standarto“, o taikomų metodų efektyvumas nėra pakankamai aiškus. Pagrindinis straipsnio tikslas – padėti suprasti gydytojui praktikui, kodėl kyla skausmo problema pooperaciniu laikotarpiu ir ką gali medicinos personalas padaryti, kad šis laikotarpis pacientui būtų kuo sklandesnis. Straipsnyje aptariami ir nauji po širdies operacijų taikomi veiksmingi skausmo malšinimo metodai. Reikšminiai žodžiai: skausmas, širdies operacija, ūminio pooperacinio skausmo malšinimas New trends in the treatment of postoperative pain in cardiac surgery Judita AndrejaitienėInstitute for Biomedical Research, Kaunas University of Medicine, Laboratory of Intensive Care and Blood Circulation Research,Eivenių Str. 4, LT-50009 Kaunas, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] Effective post-operative pain management is a constituent of contemporary surgical treatment. Inadequate acute pain treatment after cardiac surgery can keep patients from the activities that prevent postoperative complications, especially respiratory complications, determine reduced patients’ emotional discomfort, anxiety, sleep disorders. The appropriate postoperative analgesia prevents patients’ discomfort, may decrease morbidity, postoperative ICU and in-hospital stay, and thus may decrease cost. The importance of post-operative pain management has been known for a long time. However, regardless of scientific progress in the studies of acute pain pathogenesis and the accumulated treatment experience, there is no acknowledged “golden standard” for the periods following cardiac surgery, while the effectiveness of the applied methods has not yet been fully explained. In the current era of early tracheal extubation, achieving optimal pain relief after cardiac surgery can be challenging. Adequate postoperative analgesia after cardiac surgery may be attained via a wide variety of techniques. The main purpose of this article is to help a practicing doctor understand the reasons related to the problem of pain during the postoperative period and also what the medical personnel can do in order to make this period as smooth as possible for the patient. The article also covers the most recently adapted effective methods of post-operative analgesia. Key words: pain, cardiac surgery, acute postoperative pain management

Objectives: Adequate postoperative pain management is crucial in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery because pain can lead to devastating short- and long-term consequences. This review discusses the limitations of current postoperative pain assessment and management in children after cardiac surgery, the obstacles to providing optimal treatment, and concepts to consider that may overcome these barriers. Data Source: MEDLINE and PubMed. Conclusions: Effective pain management in infants and young children undergoing cardiac surgery continues to evolve with innovative methods of both assessment and therapy using newer drugs or novel routes of administration. Artificial intelligence– and machine learning–based pain assessment and patient-tailored management in both pain measurement and prevention are already being integrated into the routine of current practice.
