Emergency departments are ground zero for acute pain, but are we truly getting it right? In this fast-paced, no-holds-barred session, we’ll dissect what actually works, what’s failing miserably, and why some treatments seem to make patients scream for more pain medications. Expect a mix of cutting-edge evidence, real-world ED chaos, and practical strategies you can implement immediately. Whether you want to sharpen your pain management skills in an acute care setting or just stop patients from screaming at you, this is the session you don’t want to miss!
Learning Objectives:
Define the most effective evidence-based strategies for managing acute pain in the emergency department.
Identify common pitfalls and ineffective pain management approaches that contribute to patient dissatisfaction and poor outcomes.
Implement practical strategies to improve pain control while minimizing adverse effects and resource overuse in the ED.
