Abstract

ASSESSMENT OF PRESCRIPTION PATTERN AND PAIN INTENSITY IN POST- OPERATIVE PATIENTS WITH LOWER EXTREMITY LONG BONE FRACTURE

*Arya Sunil and Dr. Soumya A.

ABSTRACT

A fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of bone. The most frequently fractured bones in the human body are the long bones, such as the femur, tibia, and humerus. Long bone lower limb fractures include fractures of the femur, tibia, and fibula. Mode of injury in these cases include fall while walking, fall from heights, road traffic accidents (RTA), sporting injuries and assault. The goal of the study is to assess the prescription pattern in patients with lower extremity long bone fracture, it will help in the optimization of medication and also in the assessment of pain intensity in post-operative patients with pain intensity. An educational observational study was carried out among 86 in the In-Patient Department of Orthopedics, ESIC MC-PGIMSR, Rajajinagar. The data was collected by using a self-designed data collection form and with the use of a visual analogue scale for pain intensity. All data obtained was processed and analyzed by using Microsoft Excel. It was found that the prescription pattern of drugs used in post-operative patients with lower extremity long bone fractures. analgesics are the most commonly prescribed agents for the treatment of pain, with the most common drug used as paracetamol and the most common combination being tramadol+ paracetamol. The study also shows the other medications prescribed for fracture such as antibiotics for prophylaxis of infection and gastroprotective (pantoprazole) agents for gastric irritation and supplementary agents such as multivitamins for bone strengthening as well as Chymoral forte for wound healing. The study shows the different types of analgesics used in post-operative lower extremity long-bone fracture and their route of administration. The study shows the pain intensity in post-operative patients along with the length of stay. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the prescription patterns and pain intensity experienced by postoperative patients with lower extremity long bone fractures. The findings underscore the need for personalized pain management strategies, considering the diversity in prescription approaches. Healthcare providers should strive for a balance between effective pain relief and minimizing potential side effects. Further research and clinical attention are warranted to enhance postoperative care, ensuring optimal recovery and improved quality of life for these patients.
