Special Services For Your Child Pain Management
The Pediatric Pain Management Program deals with acute and chronic pain, education
and research. The patients with acute pain include postoperative patients, trauma
patients and patients with exceptional pain problems. The treatment for these
patients include patient controlled analgesia and epidural infusions. The goal
of acute pain management is to control the level of pain in a safe manner and
enhance the recovery process. The chronic pain team is multidisciplinary. It
involves anesthesia, nursing, pharmacy, occupational therapy, physical therapy,
child life, social work and psychiatry. These patients are preferably seen on
an outpatient basis. It is also a goal of the pain service to promote education
of those providing care to pediatric patients in regard to pain. This is done
through lectures and conferences. Several research projects are being conducted
to evaluate the most efficient and safest methods of analgesia.
