About The Webinar
Accurate recognition and effective management of pain are an extremely important part of our patient management and as clinician we have both an ethical reason towards our patients that cannot speak for themselves and a medical reason (to reduce morbidity associated to a painful experience) to address pain. Many diseases that require emergency and critical care management are painful: trauma, organ distension, pleuritis and peritonitis, immobility and especially most of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are often required can be associated with a painful experience.
To be able to deliver optimal pain management we should have a good understanding of the physiology of nociception, the ability to recognize clinically pain behaviors and an understanding of the pharmacology of analgesic drugs available.
