Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
prevalence of patients with moderate to severe pain more than once in first postoperative day
moderate to severe pain = Neonatal Infant Pain Scale =,\>4 or CHEOPS =,\>8 or Verbal numerating scale =,\>4
24 hours
Study Arms (1)
Conventional model, Study model
EXPERIMENTALConventional model(C): Nurses give fixed-dose analgesic according to surgeons' prescription Study model(S): Nurses give initial-dose analgesic according to surgeons' prescription. In case of inadequate pain relief, another half of initial dose will be given twice at 15-min interval and acute pain service will be consulted if there is still pain.
