Course Description
Providing comfort and relieving pain are fundamental elements of
our healthcare practice. However, it is clear that there are
gaps in our management of pain in children. Illinois EMSC
recognizes that pediatric pain assessment and management is a
challenge in the fast pace of the Emergency Department setting.
This Pediatric Pain Management in the Emergency Department
educational module provides an overview of the essential
components of pediatric pain management. It addresses pain
management standards, barriers and misconceptions, physiologic
pain response in children, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic
management of pediatric pain, healthcare professional
educational recommendations, patient/family education and
quality improvement activities. Additionally, the module
contains a number of resources that have been gathered to assist
with your emergency department pain management efforts. We
encourage all healthcare professionals that provide care to the
pediatric patient in your emergency department to review this
module. With the increased emphasis on pain management and the
Joint Commission expectation that healthcare organizations
address pain, EMSC recognizes the need to promote awareness of
optimal pediatric pain management. It is our hope that you will
review your current pain management policies, procedures and
educational plan and utilize these materials to further enhance
your care of the pediatric patient.
