Comparative Study[Evaluation of acute pain in prehospital medicine].
To evaluate acute pain in prehospital setting. ⋯ Acute pain is frequently observed in prehospital emergency medicine. Pain scales such as VRS and VAS are used easily and convenient for the assessment of pain intensity in this context. However, even if pain is correctly evaluated, it is still inadequately treated. The reasons of these inadequacies must be assessed and corrected with pain treatment protocols including opioids.
