Brief summary

This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Detailed description

Postoperative pain is still a challenge for anesthesiologist. Patient controlled analgesia is an effective method for postoperative pain management. However, most of the patient can not use the device properly. The important cause of inabilities about device usage is insufficient information.In the patient information, visual, oral or written communication methods can be chosen. However, which method is suitable for our patient group is not clear.This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Pain Score	At postoperative 24th hours.	Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used for postoperative pain score

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Postoperative analgesic consumption	Up to the postoperative 24th hours.	Total opioid dosage will be recorded
PCA device usage	During postoperative 24 hours	The number of demand dose
Patient's satisfaction	At the postoperative 24th hours	The numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used. In this scale 0 will be the worst, 10 will be the best satisfaction.
The change of the postoperative pain score	Up to the postoperative 24th hours.	Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used to evaluate the pain score. The change in this score during postoperative 24 hours will be calculated.(the first score will be extracted from the last score)
PCA device demand dose duration	During postoperative 24hours	The duration of the patients' demanding dose

Other

Measure	Time frame	Description
Length of stay hospital	Up to the postoperative 10 days	Number of the day that patients stay at hospital will be recorded.
