Abstract

Background

Opioids are effective for postoperative pain control but are no longer considered appropriate as the sole method for managing pain after surgery. Newer, multimodal approaches to pain control are increasingly being employed to decrease reliance on opioids, but patient-related outcomes are not consistently reported with these interventions.

Objective

This study evaluated the effect of implementing a new multimodal therapy order set, coupled with new patient education materials, on postoperative outcomes after complex shoulder surgery.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study compared outcomes from patients who received medications via the new multimodal therapy order set (order set cohort) and patients who did not (nonorder set cohort). All patients were contacted on postoperative days 1,7, and 14 to answer questions about postoperative pain and general measures of function. Data on opioid prescribing and use were collected. There were 2 primary endpoints: median morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD) prescribed at 14 days postsurgery and median satisfaction with pain control at 14 days postsurgery.

Results

There were 16 patients included in the nonorder set cohort and 19 in the order set cohort. At 14 days postsurgery, the median MEDD prescribed was significantly less in the order set cohort than in the nonorder set cohort (P = 0.003), and there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction scores between groups.

Conclusion

The implementation of a multimodal order set, coupled with new patient education materials, resulted in a significant reduction in the median MEDD of prescribed opioids without negatively influencing patient satisfaction after complex shoulder interventions.
多模式治疗顺序对肩关节矫形手术后阿片类药物处方的影响分析。
背景:阿片类药物对术后疼痛控制有效,但不再被认为是治疗术后疼痛的唯一方法。新的、多模式的疼痛控制方法越来越多地被用于减少对阿片类药物的依赖,但这些干预措施并没有一致地报道与患者相关的结果。目的:本研究评估实施一套新的多模式治疗顺序,并结合新的患者教育材料,对复杂肩关节术后预后的影响。方法:这项回顾性队列研究比较了通过新的多模式治疗顺序集(顺序集队列)和未接受治疗顺序集队列的患者的结果。在术后第1、7和14天联系所有患者,回答有关术后疼痛和一般功能测量的问题。收集阿片类药物处方和使用的数据。有两个主要终点:术后14天吗啡当量日剂量中位数(MEDD)和术后14天疼痛控制满意度中位数。结果:非顺序组16例,顺序组19例。术后14天,有序组的MEDD处方中位数显著低于非有序组(P = 0.003),两组患者满意度评分无显著差异。结论:多模式订单集的实施,加上新的患者教育材料,导致处方阿片类药物的中位MEDD显着降低,而不会对复杂肩部干预后的患者满意度产生负面影响。
