Between April and September will be 40 meetings in more than 20 different locations in Spain, with an expected around attendance of 1,500 healthcare professionals.

Each meeting will feature two speakers: the first will be the generalities of pain with relevant clinical cases and the second will address the more specific part of the specialist assistants, also including appropriate clinical cases.

The courses are given in days six hours that will foster the interactivity between trainers and participants through dynamic exchange of information and the resolution of clinical cases. Once completed the residential course, participants must complete their training through a time of individual educational work with the support of a CD in pain that will be delivered to the end of the day.

In addition to the training course in musculoskeletal pain, the PAIN EDUCATION program has already done eight of the twelve PAIN courses in neuropathic pain expected. This seminar is aimed at those physicians wishing to enhance their knowledge in this kind of pain, character and complex treatment. In addition, be convened in October, a new session of ongoing PAIN in er aimed at professionals who perform health care activity in the hospital emergency room, where the prevalence of pain in patients is high (60%) (1).

PAIN EDUCATION agenda also features on-line training courses. In this sense, in February, CHANGE PAIN launched an ambitious plan for training in pain which offer eight modules individually accredited by the Commission of continuing medical training of the Ministry of health and Social policy. This training course will be available free of charge during 2011 and 2012.

DMR, the anesthetic revolution compromised with the environment.

-this software allows the optimization of anesthesia machines, obtaining the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases, with the resulting cost savings and environmental.

-its implantation in anesthesia rooms allows to achieve a 90% savings in the consumption of oxygen in operating room.

– eliminates the toxic contamination of operating and ensures minimum environmental pollution caused by halogenated anesthetics discharges to the atmosphere


Barcelona, March of 2011- the DMR software is the latest revolution in the halls of anesthesia, a patented method that allows the optimization of the machines of anesthesia, obtaining the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases and the consequent economic savings and environmental.

the anaesthetic gases are small amounts of volatile anesthetic gases coming out of the circuit of anesthesia of the patient to the air in the operating room during the administration of anesthesia.

a variety of hospital staff (anesthesiologists, surgical nurses, surgeons, etc.) is exposed to inhalation of these gases, in the event that the operating rooms do not have gas extraction systems. The effects of exposure to high concentrations are sore head, irritability, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, diseases of liver and kidneys, reasoning and coordination difficulties …

distributed by the company ApplitecOptimizing, the software was created by the prestigious anesthesiologist Dr. Jaume Mas, expert in mechanical ventilation in Anesthesia and intensive care from 1960 until 2011 and also expert in anesthesia circuits closed from 1957 until the present day, providing annual training courses at the Academy of medical sciences of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands through the partnership Catalan of Anesthesiology, resuscitation and pain treatment (S.C.A.R.D.).

maximum optimization.

DMR includes the patented method M.A.A.S (Minimalflow self AnaesthesiaSystem), which allows the optimization of the machines of anesthesia in the sense of getting the minimum consumption of anaesthetic gases. The system of minimum flows provides, allows to obtain a savings in the consumption of anaesthetic gases in the order of 85% compared to the system of high flows (open circuit) used regularly. Number of studies guarantee savings in high flows (open circuit) exceeding 25 EUR per hour, while minimum flows (closed circuit) Gets a close to five euros/hour saving.

in addition, the introduction of the DMR software in the halls of anesthesia allows get a 90% savings in the consumption of oxygen in the operating room, the abolition of the use of protóxico nitrogen and its associated facilities, in addition to a considerable reduction in the use of intravenous drugs (analgesics)(, relaxing, etc.).

obtained the connection, DMR information provided following the anesthesiologist during the anaesthetic: ventilation to each patient, correction of the changes that occur during the operative event, calculation of continuous alveolar ventilation (on-line), respiratory quotient and control of respiratory spareconsumption/min, the constant faith CO2 stabilisation of O2, providing minimum volatile anesthetic to keep the fMAC to the concentration proposed by the anesthesiologist and calculate the time of induction anesthetic.

the program also calculates the efficiency and effectiveness of the model of anesthesia inhalation used, indicating the deviations as a percentage of these parameters constantly. In addition, reports the cost /m according to the method and used anesthetic and the final cost of the anesthesia.

commitment to the environment.

according to a recent joint study by the University of Copenhagen and NASA, the anaesthetic gases used by doctors and dentists in medical procedures have a strong environmental impact. This work indicates that a kilo of anesthetic gas can affect the environment in the same way as 1,620 kilograms of CO2. It is estimated that the annual amount of anesthetic gas released into the atmosphere has the same impact as the one million cars. CO2 emissions

environmental benefits which DMR allows to obtain are, among others, the Elimination of toxic operating pollution (including the law on prevention of labour risks) and ensure minimal contamination me-dioambiental caused by halogenated anesthetics discharges to the atmosphere.

the program is in the line of multiple actions, all oriented to minimize climate change. Nitrous oxide nitrogen and halogenated volatile anaesthetics are destroyers of the ozone layer and have greenhouse. The volatile anaesthetics represent about 1% of the total of chlorofluorocarbons discharges into the atmosphere, according to countries, and the software DMR contributes to the total decrease of contamination of the surgical areas. Also allows working minimum flows with the maximum safety to maintain temperature at 30 degrees and the humidity 80% in the anaesthetic circuit without heaters and humidifiers external.

If we add to that provided for the use of Xenon, very little anesthetic gas and high cost optimization seems as something essential and software using DMR to minimum flows is therefore a great opportunity highly recommended.

the trend in more advanced countries is the use techniques of minimum and minimum flows, so most manufacturers offer machines which, by their design, are perfectly suited for this type of flow. Anesthesia workstations meet all the requirements of monitoring for safe use of general anesthesia with minimal flow techniques, so the lack of monitoring is no longer an excuse to implement them.

about ApplitecOptimizing.

ApplitecOptimizing it is constituted and acts as a network of highly specialized, integrated business and technology, consultants organized using a specific methodology of integration, allowing multiply their respective added value. Our goals is the optimization of all processes (production, logistics, SupplyChain, …) in companies in different areas, looking also for reduction in all types of costs in such enterprises (economic and environmental costs).

Change Pain study: doctors and patients, together against the pain


-CHANGE PAIN launches two studies, one directed to doctors and other patients in order to increase awareness about the severe chronic pain, as well as strengthen the doctor-patient communication

-The initiative, which also occurs in other countries of Europe, will also enable review its approach to differences between the different European professionals

-the collection of information through surveys to both groups, can make a donation to the City Foundation NGO of hope and joyfor the training and recruitment of specialized staff in the hospital COHAJ (City of Hope and Joy Foundation) in Kameswaran (India)

Madrid, February 2011- international campaign CHANGE PAIN, whose aim is to improve the care of patients with chronic pain, has launched in Spain two studies in order to increase awareness about the severe chronic pain. The first is aimed at physicians and is intended to gather information on the differences in the approach of severe chronic pain among various Spanish medical specialties.

For its part, the second study, aimed at patients, will collect information about the perception they have about their pain, their real needs and if they are satisfied with the treatment they receive. The information provided by patients will contribute to the health professional to meet your expectations and needs, and in some cases, improvements in the doctor-patient communication.

Studies carried out by two surveys carried out in two separate groups and, in the case of directed to doctors, is now available on the www.changepain.org page. In early March will begin the survey patients by means of a questionnaire provided by your own doctor.

The initiative, which develops also in other countries of Europe, trusts that the results of both studies also serve to increase knowledge of severe chronic pain and consider its approach differences between different European health care professionals.

Severe chronic pain in Spain and in the rest of the world is sometimes infratratado and his approach is not always the most appropriate. In this sense, one of the studies addressed crucial issues such as the different treatments and perceptions pose a number of relevant questions about the criteria that follow in diagnosing and treating this disease to health professionals.

In addition to contributing to the development of the knowledge and treatment of this disease, participants will also collaborate with a noble cause. CHANGE PAIN will make a donation to the NGO Foundation city of hope and joy, designed to train and recruit staff specialized in the hospital COHAJ (City of Hope and Joy Foundation) of Kameswarn (India), terribly affected by the Tsunami.

The results of both studies will be published soon here.
