Postoperative orthopaedic pain — the effect of opiate premedication and local anaesthetic blocks
Abstract
The postoperative analgesic effect of opiate premedication and local anaesthetic blocks was studied in 929 patients having orthopaedic surgery. The median time to first request for postoperative analgesia was less than 2 h when neither opiate premedication nor block was used; opiate premedication increased the time significantly to more than 5 h; local anaesthetic block produced a further significant increase to 8 h and opiate premedication used with local anaesthetic block extended the median time further to more than 9 h. Women requested analgesia significantly earlier than men, independent of treatment. Age had no significant effect. Prolonging the time before more pain relief is required may be worthwhile for both patients and staff.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
