PAIN THERAPY
Nowadays, many patients’ fear of pain after operations is no longer justified. Medicine now knows better medicines that can be administered and controlled more precisely thanks to modern monitoring options.
When choosing a hospital, a professional pain management concept for patients can be a decisive factor in that choice. The primary goal of introducing a pain concept is to achieve the maximum possible reduction in pain bei with minimal side effects throughout the entire treatment process.
BEFORE SURGERY
In order to minimise pain after a procedure, we start pain management as soon as we admit our patients. A special pain history is taken during the medical admission. Here we ask about existing pain syndromes and their previous treatment. Even before the operation, the patient is informed about the measures and options of pain therapy. This enables us to determine a pain therapy concept tailored to the patient in question and thus to act effectively after the operation without unnecessary loss of time.
AFTER SURGERY
On the days following the operation, the patient receives personalised medication for pain therapy, which effectively combats post-operative pain. With the help of a pre-determined pain therapy concept, pain peaks can be prevented and side effects minimised. If necessary, this therapy is supported by drug-free procedures, such as physiotherapy or physical measures.
In order to prevent pain from occurring in the first place, our patients are also asked several times a day by the nursing staff about their degree of pain. These regular pain assessments ensure that the medication dosage is ideally adapted to the actual pain.
Our structured pain management programme is thus designed to relieve our patients’ fear of severe pain after surgery. This should speed up your recovery and make you feel better overall.
Specially qualified anaesthetists provide an acute pain service and are available to advise all medical colleagues. Acute pain management at the Schüchtermann-Klinik is certified by the TÜV’s “Pain-free clinic” initiative.
