Abstract Background Unrelieved postoperative pain afflicts millions each year in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Despite substantial advances in the study of pain, this area remains neglected. Current systematic review was designed to ascertain the types of clinical trials conducted in LMIC on postoperative pain management modalities over the last decade. Methods A comprehensive search was performed in June 2019 on PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL Plus, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant trials on the management of postoperative pain in LMIC. Out of 1450 RCTs, 108 studies were reviewed for quality evidence using structured form of critical appraisal skill program. Total of 51 clinical trials were included after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results Results are charted according to the type of surgery. Eleven trials on laparoscopic cholecystectomy used multimodal analgesia including some form of regional analgesia. Different analgesic modalities were studied in 4 trials on thoracotomy, but none used multimodal approach. In 11 trials on laparotomy, multimodal analgesia was employed along with the studied modalities. In 2 trials on hysterectomy, preemptive pregabalin or gabapentin were used for reduction in rescue analgesia. In 13 trials on breast surgical procedures and 10 on orthopaedic surgery, multimodal analgesia was used with some form of regional analgesia. Conclusion We found that over the past 10 years, clinical trials for postoperative pain modalities have evolved in LMIC according to the current postoperative pain management guidelines i.e. multi-modal approach with some form of regional analgesia. The current review shows that clinical trials were conducted using multimodal analgesia including but not limited to some form of regional analgesia for postoperative pain in LMIC however this research snapshot (of only three countries) may not exactly reflect the clinical practices in all 47 countries.

Prosedur Seksio Sesarea (SS) seringkali menyebabkan nyeri sedang hingga berat selama 48 jam. Tujuan manajemen nyeri pascabedah adalah untuk memberikan kenyamanan pada pasien, menghambat impuls nosiseptif, dan menumpulkan respon neuroendokrin terhadap nyeri, yang dengan demikian mempercepat kembalinya fungsi fisiologis. Selain itu, manajemen nyeri yang adekuat pada pasien SS memungkinkan mobilisasi dini untuk mencegah risiko tromboemboli yang meningkat selama kehamilan dan pasien perlu bebas nyeri untuk merawat bayi serta memberikan ASI secara efektif. Mekanisme nyeri pascabedah terdiri dari sensitisasi perifer dan senstisasi sentral dari susunan saraf. Dampak klinik sensitisasi sistem saraf berupa hiperalgesia dan alodinia. Sensitisasi pascabedah akan mengakibatkan penderitaan bagi pasien sehingga pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas pascabedah, oleh karena itu manajemen nyeri pascabedah harus ditujukan ke arah pencegahan dan meminimalkan terjadinya proses sensitisasi. Analgesia multimodal dengan mengkombinasi obat yang menghambat sensitisasi perifer dan sentral, dengan opioid sebagai analgesia penyelamat dapat menjadi pilihan untuk memberikan manajemen nyeri yang adekuat dan meminimalkan efek samping.   Current Practice for Post Operative Pain Management in Caesarean Section Abstract Caesarean section (CS) is frequently followed by moderate to severe pain up to 48 hours after surgery. Postoperative pain management is aimed to provide postoperative comfortness, inhibits nociceptive impulse, and blunts neuroendocrine response to pain, thus enhance the return of physiological function. Moreover, an adequate pain management in CS patients allows early mobilization in preventing the increased of thromboemboli risk during pregnancy, the need of patients to be pain free in taking care of the baby as well as effective breastfeeding. Postoperative pain mechanism consists of peripheral and central senzitisation of nervous system. Clinical impact of nervous system sensitization including hyperalgesia and allodynia. Postoperative sensitization resulted in patient’s suffering that increase morbidity and mortality rate eventually. Therefore, postoperative pain management should be directed to prevent and minimalize sensitization process. Multimodal analgesia by combining analgesics inhibited peripheral and central sensitization, with opioid as rescue analgesic may be preferred to provide adequate pain management and to minimalize the adverse effects.

Abstract Introduction Postoperative pain is a significant problem that can lead to a range of complications including inadequate healing. Music has been shown to reduce postoperative pain across a range of surgical disciplines. This poster is novel as intra-operative awareness is an area of some debate and there has not previously been a systematic review of the impact of intraoperative music on the post-operative pain of abdominal surgery patients. Method A systematic review of Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Scopus identified randomised controlled trials comparing an intraoperative music intervention with standard care with postoperative pain as a measured outcome. To assess the quality of the studies and determine inclusion in meta-analysis the author collaborated with Robot Reviewer software based on the Cochrane bias methodology. Meta-analysis used standard mean difference and a random-effects model. Results The review found the majority of studies looking at intraoperative interventions determined that there was no significant impact on postoperative pain. However meta-analysis of the 250 subjects included determined that there is a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.02). The studies included also looked at opiod use, however this was not reported. Conclusions Whilst the meta-analysis is promising, findings support further investigation into intraoperative music as a low-cost addition to postoperative pain management.

Pain management plays a fundamental role in enhanced recovery after surgery pathways. The concept of multimodal analgesia in providing a balanced and effective approach to perioperative pain management is widely accepted and practiced, with regional anesthesia playing a pivotal role. Nerve block techniques can be utilized to achieve the goals of enhanced recovery, whether it be the resolution of ileus or time to mobilization. However, the recent expansion in the number and types of nerve block approaches can be daunting for general anesthesiologists. Which is the most appropriate regional technique to choose, and what skills and infrastructure are required for its implementation? A multidisciplinary team-based approach for defining the goals is essential, based on each patient's needs, and incorporating patient, surgical, and social factors. This review provides a framework for a personalized approach to postoperative pain management with an emphasis on regional anesthesia techniques.
