Thankfully (!) pain management continues to gain increasing recognition in clinical veterinary practice. In this episode I look at some of the key points made in the following recently published guidelines focusing on those most relevant to ECC and acute short-term pain management:
Epstein M, Rodan I, Griffenhagen G, et al. AAHA/AAFP Pain Management Guidelines for Dogs and Cats. J Fel Med Surg 2015. 17, 251–272.
The ten points discussed in the episode are:
- Pain management must be central to our clinical practice
- Pain physiology should be considered when implementing our pain management
- The patient’s behaviour is key to pain assessment
- Pain scoring tools can be useful
- Multimodal (balanced) analgesia is another key strategy in pain management
- Opioids are the best analgesics in many emergency patients
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be contraindicated in emergency patients
- Don’t overlook non-pharmacological measures
- DON’T OVERLOOK TLC!
- Conflicts of interest
