Description:Help on this term

Evidence of local arrangements for timely and effective pain management for hip fracture.

Rationale:Help on this term

Acute pain and injury of various types are inevitably interrelated and if severe and prolonged, the injury response becomes counterproductive and can have adverse effects on outcome (Macintyre et al. 2010).

Specific early analgesic interventions may reduce the incidence of chronic pain after surgery (Macintyre et al. 2010).

Collection and usage attributes

Computation description:Help on this term

Documented local arrangements that include a written clinical protocol to ensure patients with hip fracture receive prompt and effective pain management. The protocol should:

  • Take account of the hierarchy of pain management medicine that should be considered for managing pain associated with hip fracture, aiming to minimise the use of opioid medicine.
  • Include prescribed intervals for assessment of pain amongst hip fracture patients, as follows:
    • immediately upon presentation to hospital, and
    • within 30 minutes of administering initial analgesia, and
    • hourly until settled on the ward, and
    • regularly as part of routine nursing and other clinicians’ observations throughout admission.
  • Include the use of a standardised pain assessment system, which specifically addresses the assessment of pain for patients with cognitive impairment and those unable to communicate pain, particularly with regard to minimising the use of opioid medicine in this group.
