Kids' Post-Surgery pain under the microscope: study checks if current care is enough

This study looked at how well pain is managed in children right after surgery. Researchers watched 219 kids aged 0-18 years during their first hour in recovery, using pain scales suited to each age group. The goal was simply to measure how often standard care keeps pain scores low, without changing any treatments. It's a fact-finding mission, not a test of a new drug or method.
