Pathophysiology of Pain: Implications for Perioperative Nursing

Abstract: The pathophysiology of pain is a complex process that varies according to duration (eg, acute, chronic) or type (eg, nociceptive, neuropathic, psychogenic). Perioperative nurses should understand the pathways that lead to pain to better assist in managing patients' pain symptoms. Approaching pain from a patient-centered stance includes acknowledging that pain is defined entirely by the subjective experience of the patient, which may not be proportional with the level of tissue damage.

“…Nociceptive pain derived from a tissue injury occurs due to activation of nociceptors that send signals to the central nervous system in response to a potentially harmful stimulus (Dubin and Patapoutian, 2010;Rodriguez, 2015). The nociceptors are then sensitized by inflammation models (Chavan et al, 2010).…”

Definición clínicamente más útil en la que coloca al paciente en el centro de la experiencia dolorosa, estableciendo de esta forma que la información aportada por el propio paciente es el indicador más confiable del nivel de dolor experimentado por este (3,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”
