Effectiveness and safety of nurse-led different epidural analgesia methods based on symptom management theory in patients with severe acute pancreatitis: A single-center RCT protocol

The experimental group is anticipated to demonstrate superior pain management outcomes compared to the control group, with no increase in adverse events. The SMT-based nurse-led TEA protocol is expected to be safe and effective in improving analgesia, reducing ICU length of stay, decreasing 28-day mortality, and enhancing patient satisfaction. This study will provide new insights and methods for pain management in SAP patients, thereby promoting optimization of clinical practice.
