Summary

The objective is to show that the use of therapeutic communication tools, in this case a comfort scale, a low cost and simple to implement method, can reduce pain and therefore the consumption of opioids in the postoperative care unit.

Our hypothesis is that the use of a comfort scale will lead to significant postoperative opioid sparing, and consequently to a decrease in the opioid-related side effects The aim of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption between patients whose pain is assessed by a numerical verbal scale and those assessed with a comfort scale.
