Analgesics Prescriptions, Paediatric Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
Although outpatient surgery is increasing in France, particularly in paediatrics, compliance with analgesics prescriptions and pain management on return home remain poorly controlled parameters, although they are essential for optimal care. This is due, among other things, to parents' lack of knowledge and fears about the medicines prescribed to them. The paediatric anaesthesia unit of the Rouen University Hospital has set up a website for families to improve understanding of and compliance with the prescription of painkillers and thus improve the management of postoperative pain.
