Providing pain relief for patients in the emergency department

Providing pain relief for patients in the emergency department 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. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nursing Standard Royal College of Nursing (RCN)

Abstract

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.
