WL 704 S611u 2002

The management of acute pain can be rife with challenges. Correct assessment of the patient and his or her pain, appropriate drug selection, dosage titration, and prevention of chronicity are just some of the issues that physicians face every day when treating patients who experience acute pain. Dr. Thomas Simopoulos discusses how to distinguish acute pain from chronic pain, describes the basic mechanisms underlying acute pain, and offers practical tips for accurate clinical evaluation of the patient who is experiencing acute pain. He also reviews the role of various treatment modalities in alleviating short-term discomfort. Using case scenarios, Dr. Simopoulos provides guidance on pain management in young adults, the elderly, expectant mothers, and drug abusers/addicts. This program also contains the latest pain management guidelines set forth by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
