简要总结
Despite the numerous benefits of peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) over general anesthesia (GA) in a variety of surgical procedures, PNBs can be associated with increased post-operative pain if pain medications are not taken correctly (titrated). Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence as patients often have difficulty titrating medications in the absence of direct medical care. PANDA, a smartphone-based postoperative pain management tool, is designed to address this issue by helping patients manage their pain medications. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of this application in patients who are discharged after receiving PNBs. The goal is to identify areas of improvement for the application itself. It is hypothesize that PANDA will be successful in supporting patients' postoperative pain management.
