What it is

Scheduled pain scoring with age-appropriate scales, breakthrough doses tracked against the trend, and uncontrolled pain escalating to the treating team, not to tomorrow. The PCA tab follows a patient-controlled analgesia pump through the post-operative course: its settings as the staff programmed them, the demands made against the doses delivered at each reading, and side effects — a sedation score on the scale the anaesthesia team names (cited, not reproduced), respiratory rate, nausea, vomiting and itch. A high demand rate, a sedation score or a respiratory rate past the anaesthesia team’s own threshold (each set with its source; none ships) is flagged on the ward board when the reading is logged, and stays first until someone records the response. It does not programme the pump.

How it works

Set the round, score on scheduleOn Admissions, open the patient and choose every 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours, then Set schedule (open admissions only). Score pain 0–10 with a note; a number outside 0 to 10 is refused.
Watch the PCA pumpsOn PCA, log the pump’s settings as programmed, then each reading: demands against doses delivered, and the sedation score on your team’s named scale, respiratory rate, nausea, vomiting and itch. A reading is flagged only against your anaesthesia team’s own thresholds with their source (none ships), and stays at the top of the ward board until someone records the response.
Work the due listDue for scoring lists every scheduled admission whose latest score has aged past its interval — and one never scored, counted from the admission itself — with how long overdue, the last score and when it was taken. Score now opens the row.
Treat breakthrough on the score that demanded itTreat breakthrough appears on a score of 4 or more: medication, position, ice or heat, distraction, escalated or other, with what was done, then Log. The service refuses an intervention on a lower score. The trend lists every score with the interventions that hang off it.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not average pain scores across a shift — the worst score drives the response.
