Nowhere in medicine is there a greater imperative to act than in the recognition and management of a patient’s pain. This practical and evidence-based resource for emergency medicine and acute care providers will guide physicians in the selection of an effective therapy, define appropriate dosages to use and, equally important, when a treatment doesn’t work, explain why, and what to do next. Starting with chapters on the assessment of pain, the safe and effective provision of analgesia in special populations, and featuring a reference table of drug names and interactions; the bulk of the coverage moves on to describe the provision of analgesia in the wide range of conditions likely to be encountered in the emergency department. The fundamental strengths of this approach are the comprehensive coverage, focus on practicality, basis in sound evidence, and authorship by specialists with extensive experience based on years of clinical practice.

• Provides practical, evidence-based advice on the treatment of pain informed by extensive clinical experience
• Covers the huge range of conditions presenting in the emergency room
• Includes an invaluable reference table of drug names and interactions
