The goal of postoperative pain control is to reduce the negative consequences of acute postsurgical pain and help the patient transition smoothly back to normal function. Traditionally, opioid analgesic therapy has served as the mainstay of treatment for acute postoperative pain. However, opioid misuse has led to increasing demands for more investigative efforts into developing pain treatment strategies that emphasize using a multimodal approach.This activity explores the repercussions of inadequate pain control, emphasizing the increased risk of chronic pain and patient dissatisfaction. Learners grasp the significance of optimized postoperative pain control in improving immediate outcomes, reducing hospital stays, and enhancing overall patient satisfaction. By participating in this course, the interprofessional team enhances its competence in navigating the complexities of postoperative pain management, ultimately contributing to superior patient care and outcomes. Through collaborative efforts, the healthcare team ensures comprehensive care that addresses the multifaceted aspects of postoperative pain.
