A survey to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of anesthesiology resident doctors towards peri-operative pain assessment in children.

Adequate paediatric pain management is now universally considered an ethical

obligation, its study as a necessity, rather than a luxury. The assessment and treatment

of paediatric pain remain a challenge and untreated pain can have long-term negative

consequences. The present study aims at identifying the current knowledge, attitude

cross-sectional survey will be conducted using a structured and pre- validated

questionnaire
