Pharmacological techniques for managing acute pain in emergency departments
This article examines literature on pain relief in the emergency department (ED). The term ‘emergency department’ has been substituted for ‘accident and emergency’ for the purposes of international continuity. Much of the available research paints a negative picture of pain assessment and management in this setting. However, there is evidence of positive developments in clinical practice that have the potential to improve the patient’s experience in the ED.
