“ Pain is, with very few, if indeed any exceptions, morally and physically a mighty and unqualified evil. And, surely, any means by which its abolition could possibly be accomplished, with security and safety deserves to be joyfully and gratefully welcomed by medical science.”
Sir James Young Simpson, 1871

An ordinary ED patient…
72 yr, female, diabetic, known also with: • COPD • stable angina • congestive heart failure NYHA III • hepatitis B fell at home 6 hours before presenting in ED.

• her left leg appeared shorter than the right leg and externally rotated.
• Pain score at arrival: 8 on NRS • RX (has to be attached)

What means the work in ED today?
• increased workload • a broad range of illnesses presenting with
pain • a growing incidence of visits (20%/10yr) • acute pain is the reason that the majority of
patients presents to the ED (7/10) • failure to adequately treat acute pain in ED
has been labelled as a public health problem, in USA
• untreated pain long term effects

Categories of illnesses presenting with pain in ED
Trauma (fractures, dislocations, strains) Wounds Back and neck pain Abdominal pain Headache Chest pain (noncardiac) Abscesses, celulitis Toothache Urinary tract infection Upper respiratory tract infection Renal colic Todd KH et al.

Why there is lack of analgesia in ED?
• reduced educational emphasis on pain
management • inadequate ED quality improvement services • lack of ED pain research (geriatric, pediatric) • concerns regarding opioid addiction and abuse • fear of opioid side effects • racial and ethnic bias

Assessing the patient with pain
• Onset and duration • Location /distribution • Quality • Intensity • Aggravating/relieving factors • Associated symptoms • Treatment response
![Page 12: Pain management in the emergency · PDF filePain Management in the Emergency Department (ED) ... • Safe total doses !! ... innervation of the hip and knee,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052916/5a7882d87f8b9a8c428c8a9e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pain assessment tools Numerical rating scale NRS (0,10) Visual analog scale VAS (0,100 mm) Faces scale: Timing: • At admission (< 20 min) • After maximum 60 min • At discharge
![Page 13: Pain management in the emergency · PDF filePain Management in the Emergency Department (ED) ... • Safe total doses !! ... innervation of the hip and knee,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052916/5a7882d87f8b9a8c428c8a9e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Check the efficacy of pain therapy, because there is a GOAL!

TREAT THE PAIN!
• Physical • Pharmacological • Regional anesthesia
![Page 15: Pain management in the emergency · PDF filePain Management in the Emergency Department (ED) ... • Safe total doses !! ... innervation of the hip and knee,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052916/5a7882d87f8b9a8c428c8a9e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Acetaminophen
• Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system
• Doses: 2-3 g/24 hr (4-6g)? • Routes: oral, intravenous • Contraindications: in patients with heavy
alcohol use acute/chronic hepatitis • Part of a multimodal analgesic regimen • FDA new recommendations : 325 mg/tablet
![Page 16: Pain management in the emergency · PDF filePain Management in the Emergency Department (ED) ... • Safe total doses !! ... innervation of the hip and knee,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052916/5a7882d87f8b9a8c428c8a9e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Antiinflammatory drugs (AINS) • Most commonly prescribed analgesics • Not recommended in patients > 75 years • Work by inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes • Results in a decreased production of
prostaglandins from arachidonic acid • Side effects : gastrointestinal and
cardiovascular, renal • Ibuprofen : max 2400 mg/24 hr • Naproxen: max 1500 mg/24 hr

Opioids…to fear or not to fear of their side effects?
• For managing moderate/severe acute pain and chronic pain
• Short acting opioids for acute pain • Specific opioid selection guided by intensity
and duration of pain, tolerance and safety • Recommendation: in association with
acetaminophen and AINS • Administration of meperidine is discouraged • Parenteral opioids in selected cases • Search for abuse history

I hope you will remember that • Pain is undertreated in ED • Pain as the fifth vital sign SHOULD BE MONITORIZED • Pain level must be reassessed after first
therapeutic gesture • Pain is the important cause for reattendance in
the ED • Pain might lead to immediate and long term
side effects
![Page 37: Pain management in the emergency · PDF filePain Management in the Emergency Department (ED) ... • Safe total doses !! ... innervation of the hip and knee,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052916/5a7882d87f8b9a8c428c8a9e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
