Abstract:
Abstract Pain is a subjective experience. Its intensity may vary including normal, excessive or substantially attenuated pain. Mistreated postoperative pain may result in many postsurgical complications. The study included 198 patients, 173 men (88.7%) and 22 women (11.3%), who were subjected to a surgical procedure due to a maxillofacial injury. The research included all patients, qualified and admitted to the ward throughout a 12-month long period. The most common injury in the facial part of the cranium was the mid face fracture cases (44.28%), then the lower face fracture, mandible fracture n=79, (37.61%), and upper face fracture - 7.14%. Four patients (1.90%) experienced both upper and mid face injury. Two patients had a mid and lower face injury. Average anesthesia duration was 88.48 min, (SD 41.98 min), Min - 20 min, Max - 240 min. 56.0% of the patients were qualified to the ASA II group, and 36.0% to the ASA I group. Only 6.0 % of the patients in the study were qualified to the ASA III group, and only 2.0% to the ASA IV group. The pain level was assessed in days ‘0’ and ‘1’ after the procedure. The average pain level on day ‘0’ was VAS-4.12; SD=2.5; Max - 10; Min - 0; (SW-W=0.9613; p=0.00) and on day ‘1’, VAS = 2.9744; SD=2.1163; Max - 9; Min - 0; (SW-W=0.9346; p=0.00) respectively. The vast majority of trauma patients maxillo-facial treated operatively evaluated postoperative pain as a weak or moderate. Pain about moderate intensity occurs most often in times of operating whereas weak pain of / mild maintained in the first postoperative day in over half of the operated patients. It is recommended to promote the creation of Pain Treatment Teams and certification of hospitals ‘Hospital Without Pain’.
