Pain management for laceration repair in children

What this episode covers

<br /> Laceration repair is one of the quintessential procedures that children undergo in Emergency Departments. Minimizing pain and anxiety for children is a much better idea than just holding them down and getting it done. This episode will teach you all about local anesthetics, when to use anxiolytics and procedural sedations s well as the considerable value of nonpharmacologic intervention &#8211; including Child Life Specialists. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This episode is a co-production of the Emergency Medical Services for Children Innovation and Improvement Center whose mission is to minimize morbidity and mortality of acutely ill and injured children across the emergency continuum. We have developed a series of pain focused episodes.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Other Episodes in the Series<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/34eda738-c0e3-471c-94e6-5d7bb718e70f/id/23081153" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Pediatric EMS Podcast: Ouch-less Pediatrics</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://ucdavisem.com/2022/06/18/please-dont-hurt-me/">EM Pulse: Please Don&#8217;t Hurt Me!</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://emguidewire.libsyn.com/pediatric-pain-management-emsc-improvement-project" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EM Guidewire: Pediatric Pain Management &#8211; EMSC Improvement Project</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.pediacastcme.org/pediatric-pain-from-the-family-perspective-pediacast-cme-079/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PediaCast CME: Pediatric Pain… from the Family Perspective</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Follow my work<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://pemblog.com">PEMBlog.com</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/PEMTweets">@PEMTweets on Twitter</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://Facebook.com/pemtweets">The Facebook page</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bradsobolewski/?hl=en">Instagram @BradSobolewski</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Disclaimer<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Emergency Medical Services for Children Innovation and Improvement Center is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award (U07MC37471) totaling $3M with 0 percent financed with nongovernmental sources.
