Quick takeaways

  • Pain management is often overlooked in the emergency department due to prioritization of critically ill patients, leading to delays and inadequate relief.
  • There is a need for education and training to improve staff awareness of best practices and reliance on evidence-based guidelines.

Deep dives

Pain management is not prioritized in the emergency department

Pain management is often not seen as a clinical priority in the busy and chaotic environment of the emergency department. Staff prioritize dealing with critically ill patients and tend to normalize or ignore pain. This leads to delays in providing pain relief and inadequate pain management. More education and training on the importance of pain management and the consequences of inadequate pain relief are needed.
