The content is based on recent literature and guidelines for assessment and treatment but may not be applicable to all individuals due to patient- and environment-specific circumstances (eg, regional differences in drug availability and usage, allergies, comorbidities or contraindications to medications). Always check your local treatment protocols, prescribing information, and hospital formulary, and adapt treatment to the individual patient and review the risks and benefits of each treatment.
This module is not a replacement for clinical judgment. It should only support existing standard protocols for pain management.
