Factors contributing to pain severity include younger age, high body mass index (BMI), preexisting pain, depressive mood, bilateral breast surgery, and preoperative chemotherapy. However, anesthesia-related factors remain underexplored. Inadequate pain control in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) can lead to discomfort, complications, and disrupt PACU workflow.
