Clinical Trial Observational StudyPrediction of postoperative pain and analgesic requirements using surgical pleth index: a observational study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of surgical pleth index (SPI) measured before arousal from general anaesthesia for prediction of immediate postoperative pain and postoperative opioid requirement during postoperative 48 h. After obtaining ethical approval and written informed consent, we enrolled 51 patients undergoing liver resection under isoflurane based general anaesthesia using laryngeal mask airway in this prospective observational study. Data relating to SPI values were recorded every 30 s for the last 3 min of surgery (bispectral index < 60 at all times). ⋯ When compared the patients who showed SPI value over 60 or not, there was significant difference in the amount of fentanyl consumption during postoperative 48 h (1093 ± 406 µg vs. 766 ± 369 µg, p = 0.014; SPI ≥ 60 vs. SPI < 60). SPI measured before arousal after inhalation anaesthesia was associated with immediate postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption.

The assessment of painful areas through printed body charts is a simple way for clinicians to identify patients with widespread pain in primary care. However, there is a lack in the literature about a simple and automated method designed to analyze pain drawings in body charts in clinical practice. ⋯ PainMAP software is reliable and valid for quantification of the number of pain sites and the pain area in patients with low back pain.

ReviewCharacteristics, Properties, and Associations of Self-Assessed Pain Questionnaires: A Literature Review and Prospective Cohort Study Among Dance Students.
To provide an overview of measurement properties of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Questionnaire (OSTRCQ), pain visual analogue scale (VAS-pain) and Self-Estimated Functional Inability Because of Pain (SEFIP) scale in dance populations, and to investigate the relationship between these questionnaires in pre-professional contemporary dancers. ⋯ Studies on measurement properties of questionnaires in dance are scarce. Weak/moderate associations were found between the OSTRCQ, SEFIP, and the VAS-pain questionnaires. Future high-quality research should investigate measurement properties of these questionnaires within dance populations. The results contribute by substantiating choices when developing a surveillance system.
