Analgesic effect of music during wound care among patients with diaphyseal tibial fractures: Randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Evidence is scarce regarding the analgesic effect of music for the relief of acute pain during the care of surgical tibial fracture wounds. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the analgesic effect of music on acute procedural pain during the care of surgical tibial fracture wounds. METHOD: This was a randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial with 70 patients in the immediate postoperative period for diaphyseal tibial fracture surgery. Participants were randomly allocated to two groups: a control group (CG), in which patients received only the institution's standard analgesia, and an intervention group (IG) composed of patients receiving a 30-min session of music of their own choice, as a complementary method to the institution's standard analgesia. Pain was evaluated during the first postoperative dressing change, using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). RESULTS: The sample was homogeneously composed of men (91.4%), young adults (61.4%), without previous diseases (88.6%) and whose traumas were related to a motorcycle crash (84.3%). The main musical genres chosen by participants were the most popular in their region (61.4%). Those who listened to music presented lower pain scores when compared with those in the CG (IG:2.4 ± 2.4 versus CG:5.8 ± 2.7; p < 0.001; η2  = 0.171; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Listening to music is effective for relieving acute procedural pain during the first post-operative tibial fracture dressing change. Music should be incorporated into the multimodal analgesia protocols for management of orthopedic postoperative wound care-related pain. SIGNIFICANCE: Patients with diaphyseal tibial fractures that listened to music before and during the wound dressing change showed less pain when compared to those who received the standardized pharmacologic analgesia alone.

Complicações na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica: uma revisão integrativa / Complications in the post-anesthesia care unit: an integrative review / Complicaciones en la sala de recuperación pos-anestésica: una revisión integrativa

Objetivo: Analisar a produção do conhecimento sobre as complicações pós-operatórias e as intervenções de enfermagem na Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica (SRPA). Método: Revisão integrativa, mediante consulta às bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Base de Dados da Enfermagem (BDENF) e United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) and National Institutes of Health (PubMed) no período de 2006 a 2016. Resultados: A amostra resultou em 30 artigos. As complicações cirúrgicas mais prevalentes foram dor, náuseas, hipotermia, retenção urinária, dessaturação e hipertensão. As intervenções de enfermagem foram citadas em dois estudos, expressas por administração de medicamentos, oxigenioterapia, instalação de manta térmica, observação, monitoramento de sinais vitais e realização de curativos. Conclusão: Esta revisão demonstrou que há necessidade de estudos com evidências científicas sobre a temática e maior enfoque nas intervenções de enfermagem (Nursing Intervention Classification), diante das complicações pós-operatórias

Objective: To analyze production of knowledge about postoperative complications and nursing interventions at the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Method: Integrative review based on studies published from 2006 to 2016 in the following databases: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF), United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), and National Institutes of Health (PubMed). Results: The sample was composed of 30 articles. The most common surgical complications were pain, nausea, hypothermia, urinary retention, desaturation, and hypertension. Two studies mentioned nursing interventions, which encompassed drug administration, oxygen therapy, installation of thermal blanket, observation, vital signs monitoring, and application of dressings. Conclusion: This review shows the need for further studies with scientific evidence about this theme and more focus on nursing interventions (Nursing Intervention Classification) when it comes to postoperative complications

Objetivo: Analizar la producción del conocimiento sobre las complicaciones pos-operatorias y las intervenciones de enfermería en la Sala de Recuperación Pos-Anestésica (SRPA). Método: Revisión integrativa, mediante consulta a las bases de datos Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Base de Datos de la Enfermería (BDENF) y United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) y National Institutes of Health (PubMed) en el período de 2006 a 2016. Resultados: La muestra resultó en 30 artículos. Las complicaciones quirúrgicas más prevalentes fueron dolor, náuseas, hipotermia, retención urinaria, desaturación e hipertensión. Las intervenciones de enfermería fueron citadas en dos estudios, expresadas por administración de medicamentos, oxigenoterapia, instalación de manta térmica, observación, monitoreo de señales vitales y realización de curativos. Conclusión: Esta revisión demostró que hay necesidad de estudios con evidencias científicas sobre la temática y mayor enfoque en las intervenciones de enfermería (Nursing Intervention Classification), ante las complicaciones pos-operatorias.
