Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Managing postoperative pain is an ongoing challenge. Therefore, frequent surveys are needed to constantly evaluate and improve perioperative pain care. The French reference audit was published in 2008. Ten years later, the French AlgoSFAR survey of 70 centres and 3,315 patients highlighted a clear improvement in practices. However, these data have never been published in a referenced journal due to significant methodological biases.

In 2024, we do not have recent French data based on rigorous methodology in the field of postoperative pain management.

The objective of this study is to reassess postoperative pain management in France. This is a prospective national survey. The proposed methodology will make it possible to provide a relevant snapshot of the practices and quality of care. Secondarily, areas for improvement can be identified and these results will also help in the drafting of future recommendations.

100 centres representative of the French map of surgical centres will be contacted.

Inclusions will take place over 2 days, identical for all centres. All patients eligible for inclusion during this period will be included.
