Abstract
Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) nurses in our main hospital PACU identified concerns after several adverse drug events occurred associated with opioid administration for pain management. Despite aggressive administration of opioid medications to treat acute post-operative pain, a standardized method of assessing sedation was not used. After consultation with the pain management team, the Pasero Opioid- Induced Sedation Scale currently being used in the medical-surgical units was selected for use in the main PACU.
