Postoperative pain after paediatric adenoidectomy and differences between the pain scores made by the recovery room staff, the parent and the child

Abstract: The postoperative pain scores were higher at 10 min after the operation than after 30 min. The parents scored the pain higher than the nurse did, but there was still a strong correlation between the observers' rating of the pain. The correlation between the nurse's and the child's assessments was stronger than the correlation between the parent's and the child's assessments. There was no gender difference in how the pain was perceived by the child. The parents tended to score the pain higher with older age of … Show more

“…Zudem existiert keine einheitliche Skala für alle Kinder, die unabhängig von deren Entwicklung ist [36]. Geeignete Fremdbeobachtungsinstrumente werden daher immer wichtiger, nicht zuletzt auch, weil die subjektive Einschätzung der Schmerzhöhe sowohl durch die Eltern als auch durch das medizinische Personal von vielen Faktoren beeinflusst werden kann und die vorhandene Schmerzstärke nicht immer unverzerrt widerspiegelt [1,11,24].

“…In der Literatur finden sich sowohl für eine Alters-als auch für eine Geschlechtskorrelation im Rahmen des postoperativen Schmerzes bei Kindern unterschiedliche Aussagen. Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Studien konnte keinen Unterschied zwischen Jungen und Mädchen feststellen[4,6,14,24].
