Impact of a Strategy for Improving Early Management of Acute Pain in the Pediatric Emergency Department.
The objective of this study was to measure the impact of an intervention on pain treatment in a pediatric emergency department (ED). The application of interventions to improve pain management in DE has demonstrated diverse effects so far, most of them successful. ⋯ The application strategies to enhance early pain treatment in the ED can improve analgesia administration. Training strategies aimed at healthcare personnel working in the ED can change the way they work and achieve clear benefits for the patient. The treatment of pain in the ED should begin as soon as possible, and in this objective, the involvement of the nursing staff is a priority, because they are the professional who has the best opportunity for the detection and treatment of pain from the moment of triage.
