Question

find original research study that supports the clinical question: Does pain medication administration during surgery incision minimize the requirement for pain medication twenty-four hours after the operation?

Does the research article clearly identify the research methods, results and discussion of the findings? Reference the research study in APA format.

2. Discuss how the authors obtained Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for the original research study.  

3. Identify the research question for the original research study.  

Answer 1

The effective relief of pain is of the utmost importance to anyone treating patients undergoing surgery. The goal for pre and post operative pain is to reduce or eliminate pain and discomfort with a minimum of side effects. Several scoring tools are avilable but a 10-point pain assessment scale, where 1 is no pain and 10 is the worst possible pain imaginable, has been nationally accepted. Analgesia administered before the painful stimulus occurs may prevent or substantially reduce subsequent pain or analgesic requirements. Effective pre-emptive analgesic techniques use multiple pharmacological agents to reduce nociceptor activation by blocking or decreasing receptor activation, and inhibiting the production or activity of pain neurotransmitters. Reports shows that the patient receiving pre-emptive local anesthetic wound infiltration and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory administration experience a decrease in analgesic consumption, but no decrease in postoperative pain scores. Overall, pre-emptive analgesia may offer some short-term benefits from pain however patient needs effective post operative pain therapy like opioid analgesics to reduce pain.

IRB: Under FDA regulations, an IRB is an apropriately constituted group that has been formally designate to review and monitor biomedical research with FDA regulations, an IRB has the authority to approve, to secure approval or disapprove research. They often conduct some form of risk-benefit analysis in an attempt to determine whether or not research should be conducted. The IRB approves a research study when it meets the appropriate steps such as human rights and human welfare.
