摘要Objective: To evaluate the attitude and perception of surgeons about postoperative pain management, and an anaesthesiologist-based acute pain service. Design: Questionnaire survey. Setting: Tertiary university teaching hospital, Hong Kong. Participants: All surgical staff members (specialists and trainees) of the Departments of Surgery, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Main outcome measures: Opinions on postoperative pain management, different pain management modalities, and services provided by the acute pain service. Results: Of the 147 questionnaires, 104 (71%) were returned. The majority (97%) agreed that effective pain control improves patient recovery and 88% believed that anaesthetists should be involved in postoperative pain management. Overall, 85% of the respondents were satisfied with the acute pain service. However, about one third of them wanted to maintain an active role in postoperative pain management and only 54% thought that the acute pain service has a significant impact on patient outcomes. In addition, only 10% of surgeons agreed that patients receiving acute pain service intervention would be discharged earlier. The respondents also thought that, compared to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia, epidural analgesia required more nursing care and was less cost-effective. Areas of the acute pain service warranting improvement included: education of surgeons on postoperative pain and its management (92%), communication (74%), and referral systems (80%). Conclusion: The majority of surgeons were satisfied with the acute pain service and agreed that anaesthetists should be involved in postoperative pain management. However, a proportion wanted to maintain an active role in postoperative pain management.
