There is currently no documentation of the status of pain management on the pediatric surgical ward. The goal of this project is to assess feasibility of characterizing the current state of pain management Observations: Literature review and anecdotal reports/interviews identified substantial barriers to adequate pain control, including: medication availability, overburdened nursing staff, inadequate knowledge of drug dosing and frequency, inadequate pain assessment, and fear of addiction. Many LMICs have restrictive laws against the use of opioids based on fear of misuse and addiction. Ugandan hospitals, in contrast, typically have reliable access to oral morphine as a result of strong advocacy in the field of palliative care. Documentation of intraoperative anesthetic and analgesic medication administration is excellent. Medications and dosages are recorded on a paper record, allowing for the possibility of retrospective data collection. The Department of Surgery at Yale University has developed a database collecting pediatric surgical data at Mulago Hospital, into which anesthetic data can be integrated. Potential limitations include: v Limited use of objective pain scales (FLACC, FPS, NRS). Pain scores not recorded in chart. v Inconsistent documentation of postoperative analgesic medication administration v Low fidelity between analgesics prescribed and those documented as given by nursing staff. It is unclear whether this represents lack of administration, lack of documentation, or both. v Parents are frequently responsible for administering self-purchased pain medications, complicating documentation practices. v Inherent risk of unintended consequences when encouraging pain control in a setting with limited monitoring capabilities.
