Descripción:Objective: Analyze the effectiveness of analgesic strategies used for post-surgical pain management in Hospital Clínica Bíblica for patients who reported perceived pain by answering the visual analogue pain scale (VAS) 24 hours after surgery and post-surgery. Results: The most used combinations were, in descending order: 1. Dexketoprofen+Metamizole, 2. Dexketoprofen+Metamizole+Morphine and 3. Only Dexketoprofen; there are statistically significant differences for combinations 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, on the downside for number 2. Correlations were found for VAS values, they were positive with days of hospitalization, negative with age, and lower VAS values in males and those who received medication prior to surgery. Conclusions: Pain management strategies used at Hospital Clínica Bíblica are effective, especially the combinations of two analgesics and the absence of combinations with opioids The effect of age, sex, days of hospitalization and medication prior to surgery on values of perceived pain measured with VAS should be considered in post surgery pain management strategies.
