This textbook is written as a comprehensive overview of acute pain
management. It is designed to guide clinicians through an impressive
array of different options available to them and to patients. There
has been a flurry of interest in the extent to which acute pain can
become chronic pain, and how we might reduce the incidence of such
chronicity. This overview covers a wide range of treatments for pain
management, including the anatomy of pain pathways, the
pathophysiology of severe pain, pain assessment, therapeutic
guidelines, analgesic options, organization of pain services, and the
role of anesthesiologists, surgeons, pharmacists, and nurses in
providing optimal care. It also discusses the use of
patient-controlled analgesia and how this may or may not be effective
and useful.
