Every child is different in terms of their risks for experiencing post-surgical pain. Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital are developing a tool to help accurately predict and communicate an individual child’s risk of experiencing a higher level of post-surgical pain. This tool will help make healing after surgery more comfortable for kids.
Welcome to this month’s Research Roundup, a recurring overview of recent studies published by researchers at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) and the University of British Columbia, and their collaborators.
Parents can take comfort in knowing that, for kids undergoing surgery, complications are rare. But to ensure that every child enjoys the best possible outcome, investigators at BC Children’s Hospital and the University of British Columbia are studying how to make surgery even safer.
