Analysis of the Current Status of Acute Postoperative Pain and Influencing Factors of Moderate to Severe Pain in Adult Patients Undergoing Ophthalmic Surgery Under General Anesthesia

This study assessed acute postoperative pain in 437 adult patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia at West China Hospital. The incidence of acute postoperative pain was 95%, with 49.6% experiencing moderate to severe pain. Factors influencing moderate to severe pain included age, ethnicity, type of surgery, and sleep quality. Patients over 60 had a 46% lower risk of severe pain, while ethnic minorities had a 2.7 times higher risk compared to Han people. Certain surgeries increased pain risk, and insomnia significantly heightened pain likelihood. The study suggests that addressing these factors can improve pain management in ophthalmic surgical patients.
