Todos lo hemos pensado: algunos pacientes tienen umbrales de dolor bajos. Angadi et al decidieron estudiarlo. Encontraron que la sensibilidad al dolor preoperatoria se asociaba con una mayor necesidad de analgésicos después de la fusión lumbar. Mensaje de los autores: es posible que sea necesario ajustar la dosis de los analgésicos con mayor diligencia en este grupo.
Preoperative pain sensitivity predicts postoperative pain severity and analgesics requirement in lumbar fusion surgery – a prospective observational study – The Spine Journal (thespinejournalonline.com)
We’ve all thought it—some patients have low pain thresholds. Angadi et al decided to study it. They found preop pain sensitivity associated with more pain med requirement after lumbar fusion. Authors’ message—may need to titrate pain meds more diligently in this group. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/1Q19g1Wf2d
