LOPEZ RABASSA, Sahily Irene et al. Acute After-Surgery Pain: Our Daily Bread. AMC [online]. 2005, vol.9, n.2, pp. 134-143. ISSN 1025-0255.

Pain, though easy to identify and recognized, proves difficult to conceptualize. Pivotal for healthcare science as it is, pain, acute postoperatory pain in particular, is predictable inasmuch as it results from a deliberate aggression. And as it responds to the surgery patient’s expectancies, it can be prevented for the sake of a rapid, free-from complication recovery. The present review of literature aims at defining the sensorial modality, at analyzing the misconceptions and myths surrounding pain therapeutics, the severity-increasing factors and their repercussion as well as the methods for pain classification.

Keywords : POSTOPERATIVE PAIN [classification].
