Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive, very specific, clinical guide for health care providers..."--Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing

This well-written and well-organized book is a much needed 'middle ground' resource between oversimplified introductions to pain management and a thick textbook."--Clinical Nurse Specialist

The Compact Clinical Guide to Acute Pain Management provides an excellent overview of the process of pain management for adult patients in any setting."--Critical Care Nurse

This book provides much-needed guidelines that are presented in an easy-to-use, systematic format for quick access to core concepts on acute pain management. It is designed to help busy practitioners accurately assess pain in a variety of patient populations, and select patient-appropriate medications and interventions to achieve optimal pain management for adult patients.

Intended for use in primary care, internal medicine, and acute- and long-term care settings, this book covers the topics of acute pain assessment, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options, current information from national guidelines, along with regional anesthesia techniques, patient-controlled analgesia, and epidural pain management.

Key Features:

  • Offers important new perspective on combination use of pain scales to accurately predict individual pain management needs for more customized and effective management
  • Delivers information on how to treat acute pain in hospitalized patients who also suffer from chronic pain and substance abuse
  • Offers new information on opioid polymorphisms and their surprising effect on pain medication effectiveness
  • Includes a special chapter on managing pain in difficult-to-treat patient populations
