About this study

Postoperative pain is still a challenge for anesthesiologist. Patient controlled analgesia is an effective method for postoperative pain management. However, most of the patient can not use the device properly. The important cause of inabilities about device usage is insufficient information.In the patient information, visual, oral or written communication methods can be chosen. However, which method is suitable for our patient group is not clear.This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain Score

    Time frame: At postoperative 24th hours.

    Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used for postoperative pain score

Secondary outcomes

  1. Postoperative analgesic consumption

    Time frame: Up to the postoperative 24th hours.

    Total opioid dosage will be recorded

  2. PCA device usage

    Time frame: During postoperative 24 hours

    The number of demand dose

  3. PCA device demand dose duration

    Time frame: During postoperative 24hours

    The duration of the patients' demanding dose

  4. Patient's satisfaction

    Time frame: At the postoperative 24th hours

    The numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used. In this scale 0 will be the worst, 10 will be the best satisfaction.

  5. The change of the postoperative pain score

    Time frame: Up to the postoperative 24th hours.

    Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used to evaluate the pain score. The change in this score during postoperative 24 hours will be calculated.(the first score will be extracted from the last score)

Other outcomes

  1. Length of stay hospital

    Time frame: Up to the postoperative 10 days

    Number of the day that patients stay at hospital will be recorded.
