Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pain management, and in particular to a personalized method and system for postoperative pain management in children. Background Art
[0002] In the management of postoperative pain in children, traditional methods mostly rely on the subjective judgment of doctors and a single treatment method, which is difficult to meet the personalized needs of children's pain management. Children show different pain perception and reaction due to individual differences in their physiological and psychological development stages. It is difficult for existing technologies to fully integrate these characteristics. The main problems are as follows: First, pain assessment mostly relies on patients' subjective descriptions or single monitoring indicators (such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc.). In particular, children have low assessment accuracy due to language expression and cognitive limitations. At the same time, the impact of parents' anxiety levels and care behaviors on children's pain management has not been fully considered. Secondly, children's pain perception is significantly affected by their physiological and psychological development stages. Children of the same age show different pain tolerance and coping patterns due to developmental differences. Existing methods fail to effectively evaluate and use developmental stages as a basis for management. In addition, existing management plans lack personalized adjustments, mostly adopt a unified treatment model, ignore individual differences in children, and non-drug treatments (such as psychological intervention and dietary adjustments) are also not targeted. Finally, pain management is usually based on a single assessment result, lacks real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, and cannot continuously optimize treatment plans to meet the personalized needs of patients.
[0003] To address these issues, the present invention provides personalized and precise solutions for children's postoperative pain management by integrating objective and subjective assessment data, introducing developmental stage analysis, a pain assessment model based on deep learning, and a real-time feedback mechanism, thereby significantly improving recovery effects and quality of life.

The parent part includes the parent's preoperative anxiety information and parent care information.
[0052] Patient identity information, including the patient's name, gender, age, hospitalization number, surgical department, hospitalization time, and medical record number, is used to uniquely identify the patient and ensure the accuracy and traceability of data collection and management. For example, a 5-year-old boy A, hospitalization number 123456, underwent appendectomy.
[0053] Surgical information, including the name of the surgery (e.g., appendectomy), type (e.g., minimally invasive surgery), anesthesia method (e.g., general anesthesia), duration of surgery (e.g., 90 minutes), and postoperative analgesia measures (e.g., epidural analgesia pump), is used to analyze the possible sources and severity of postoperative pain. For example, patient A underwent minimally invasive appendectomy, with general anesthesia during the surgery and an epidural analgesia pump for continuous infusion of analgesics after the surgery.
[0054] Diet and daily routine information, including the time of the patient's three meals a day, the types of food consumed and the nutritional content, as well as the duration of sleep at night, sleep quality (such as the proportion of deep sleep), and daytime activity level.
