Conditions
Brief summary
Postoperative pain will be assessed by nurses in the recovery room and inpatient unit: total morphine consumption is noted and postoperative pain is assessed using a standard visual analogue scale (VAS) in 11 points (from 0 to 10) at rest and during coughing at 11 different intervals. The level of sedation is also measured using a 5-point scale (Rudkin scale) and episodes of nausea and vomiting, side effects and complications are also encoded.
Detailed description
The pain is then evaluated during the three postoperative days thanks to the EVA but also via a general satisfaction questionnaire concerning the management of pain at the end of the stay. Side effects and complications are encoded.
