Background: Effective pain management in orthopedic trauma is essential for patient recovery and overall satisfaction. This study aims to assess the current pain management practices in orthopedic trauma care from the perspectives of healthcare providers. Aim: The primary objective of this research is to gain insight into the pain management strategies healthcare providers employ inorthopedic trauma. The study seeks to identify standard practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement in pain management. Materials and Methods: A survey was designed to gather data from healthcare providers involved in the care of orthopedic trauma patients. The survey included questions related to pain assessment, medication administration, non-pharmacological interventions, and barriers to effective pain management. Participants included orthopedic surgeons, nurses, anesthetists, and other professionals in the orthopedic trauma care setting. The data collected were analysed to provide a comprehensive understanding of current practices. esults: The survey revealed valuable insights into pain management practices in orthopedic trauma care. Findings include variations in pain assessment methods, with some providers relying on subjective patient reports while others utilize standardized pain scales. Medication preferences and dosages also demonstrated diversity. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical therapy and psychological support, were recognized as valuable but underutilized components of pain management. Several barriers were identified, including concerns about opioid use, communication challenges, and resource limitations. Conclusion: This study underscores the need for standardized pain management protocols in orthopedic trauma care. While healthcare providers generally prioritize pain management, variations in practice and identified barriers suggest room for improvement. Establishing evidence-based guidelines, enhancing interdisciplinary communication, and optimizing non-pharmacological interventions are recommended steps to improve pain management in orthopedic trauma care. |
