Abstract
Twenty subjects (nurses or parents) were interviewed concerning postoperative pain and pain relief in infants. Details of postoperative analgesics given were obtained from hospital records of 32 infants, aged 0 to 12 months, who had undergone major surgery, and routines for postoperative pain relief in infants were investigated at four Swedish hospitals where major surgery is performed on infants. Although both nurses and parents were found to be able to recognize postoperative pain reactions in infants, attitudes to pain relief were not uniform. In principle, postoperative pain relief is given “as required,” although both dosage and intervals between doses are arbitrary.
