Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of standardized pain management on old patients with hip fracture. Methods From January, 2015 to June, 2016, 75 old patients (more than 58 years old) with hip fracture were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and observa-tion group (n=38). The control group accepted routine pain management, while the observation group accepted standardized pain manage-ment. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of the most intensive pain, and their scores for satisfaction were compared. Re-sults There was no significant difference in VAS between two groups before operation (Z=0.845, P>0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group postoperatively (Z=5.427, P<0.001). The scores of satisfaction was more in the observa-tion group than in the control group (t=21.346, P<0.001). Conclusion Standardized pain management can significantly reduce perioperative pain in old patients after hip fracture surgery, and improve the satisfaction.
