| Popis: | Pain is a result of nociceptive tissue injury and results in acute and chronic impact to patients. Acute pain management is the need of the hour as untreated or under-treated pain may progress to chronic pain. Pain irrespective of its temporality causes a negative impact on the quality of life of the patients. Many Indian emergency settings are not adequately equipped to handle pain due to the heavy load of patients and the lack of awareness about the pain management guidelines. This leads to undertreatment of pain or ‘oligoanalgesia’. A pain management protocol can help prevent oligoanalgesia in an emergency setting. Proper utilization of triage systems that incorporate pain as one of the vital signs is necessary. The categorization of pain with the help of a pain scale helps determine the severity of pain and its appropriate management. Pain management is an ongoing process that does not end with the discharge of the patient. Post discharge management of pain is also an important factor to prevent chronic pain. This may involve various modalities for pain management under the preview of multimodal management of pain. |
