Chronic pain is a severe condition that can affect your quality of life. With chronic pain, your body keeps sending pain signals to your brain. Minimally invasive procedures for chronic pain management are less severe than open surgery. There is no incision during the procedure because most procedures are performed through an injection, hence less pain and less recovery time.

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my latest review article in the VATS journal! Our team has spent a year analyzing the evidence of pain control in older adults undergoing video-assisted thorascopic surgery.💫 Despite the increasing use of VATS in thoracic surgery, there's still a gap in knowledge when it comes to pain control for older adult patients. Our article highlights the challenges of managing acute perioperative pain in this population and the need for specific guidelines.💫 Contributing to the medical literature is always an honor, and we hope our work will help improve the care of older adults undergoing VATS. “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”💫#medicalresearch #painmanagement #VATSsurgery #clinicalpharmacist ✨ What field of study requires further investigation within your profession?

OPIOIDS AFTER HIP FRACTURE: The Problem and Challenge 📢 ⚠ 👉 Among patients who were not opioids users before hip fracture surgery, use of opioids within 3 months of surgery increased from 29% in 1997-1998 to 78% in 2017-2018. 👉 One year after surgery, 13% of patients were still taking opioids. 👉 The median MME did not increase over time. 👉 The most common used opioid in 2017-2018 was oxycodone. Our findings underline the importance of personalized opioid tapering and doses to promote early mobilization, and use of opioids with the lowest potential for addiction and other adverse events.
