Safety and Quality for Inpatients After Surgery at the Ward. Development and Evaluation of a New Tool: Efficacy Side-effect Score (ESS)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Efficacy Safety Score and Verbal Numeric Rating Scale for Postoperative Pain and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 1,152 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
We hypothesized that better control of postoperative pain treatment and its side effects by monitoring ESS might influence the degree of mobility and morbidity in surgical patients and consequently reduce LOS. Thus, our aim was to validate the influence of recording ESS and the application of a "call-out algorithm" on LOS in two university hospitals in which the routine policy of registration of pain had not been adopted yet.
