Optimising surgical outcomes through evidence-based acute pain protocols across the perioperative stages

Managing acute pain requires a structured approach, because it is a patient’s right to be pain-free. Because anaesthesiologists are the leaders of the surgical procedures, the WFSA must encourage the promotion and education of the guidelines and protocols that are constantly changing on acute pain management.
