| Description: |
This concise, comprehensive, evidence-based guide to managing cancer pain will enable nurses on the front lines of pain management to incorporate effective strategies into their daily practice. It is designed to facilitate quick information retrieval. This book focuses on all aspects of cancer pain, including assessment and screening tools, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options, current national guidelines for pain management, regional anesthesia techniques, patient-controlled anesthesia, and epidural pain management. It also includes updated information on the effect of opioid polymorphisms, cancer pain emergencies, myofascial pain, chronic pain in cancer survivors, and much more. It serves as an important review for the ONS and HPNA Certification exam. |
| Synopsis: |
This newest addition to Springer's Pain Management Series for Advanced Healthcare Practitioners presents evidence-based national guidelines and treatment algorithms for managing pain in patients in the critical care, trauma, and emergency room settings. Such patients often present with co-morbid and complex conditions which often make accurate pain assessment and treatment a challenge. In an easy-to-use, bulleted format, the book provides the most current information on assessing and managing pain in a variety of critical conditions. Both pharmacological management therapies and non-pharmacologic interventions are included along with information about pain assessment screening tools for special populations. Topics covered include the basics of pain physiology in critical, emergency, and operative care patients, assessing pain in the critically ill, medications and advanced pain management techniques useful with this population, and commonly occurring conditions in the various care environments. Also addressed are the management of particularly challenging patients (elderly, obese) and conditions (chronic pain, renal failure, chemically-dependent patients, and burn patients).The book contains tables that efficiently summarise information and figures to illustrate key concepts. Pain rating scales and a helpful equi-analgesic conversion table are included in the Appendix. Key Features: * Provides evidence-based information on treating pain in critical care, trauma, and emergency room patients for all practice levels * Organised for quick access to pertinent clinical information on treatment options and pain types * Provides cross-referenced indexing and easy-to-use assessment and screening tools * Includes information for treating especially challenging and difficult to manage patient pain scenarios |
