Ludhiana, October 15, 2014: To commemorate World Pain Management Week, Department of Anaesthesia today organized a symposium on ‘Pain Management’ which was attended by surgeons and anesthesiologists. Dr Suneet Kathuria(Professor of Anaesthesia),Dr Jaspal Singh(Professor & Head of Surgery) and Dr Mohd Yamin(Professor & Head of Orthopaedics) delivered the lectures.
It was mentioned that effective postoperative pain control is an essential component of the care of surgically treated patients. Inadequate pain control, apart from being inhumane, may result in increased morbidity or mortality. The advantages of effective postoperative pain management include patient comfort and satisfaction, faster recovery and very less chances of getting pulmonary and cardiac complications. A multidisciplinary team approach is required for effective pain management.
