Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device
Detailed Description
Postoperative pain is still a challenge for anesthesiologist. Patient controlled analgesia is an effective method for postoperative pain management. However, most of the patient can not use the device properly. The important cause of inabilities about device usage is insufficient information.In the patient information, visual, oral or written communication methods can be chosen. However, which method is suitable for our patient group is not clear.This study is aimed to show the effect of information method on properly usage of the patient controlled analgesia(PCA) device

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Score
Time Frame: At postoperative 24th hours.
Numeric rating scale (0 to 10) will be used for postoperative pain score
Secondary Outcomes
- Postoperative analgesic consumption(Up to the postoperative 24th hours.)
- PCA device demand dose duration(During postoperative 24hours)
- PCA device usage(During postoperative 24 hours)
- Patient's satisfaction(At the postoperative 24th hours)
- The change of the postoperative pain score(Up to the postoperative 24th hours.)
