A proposito di questo titolo

🩺 Episode Overview:
In this episode of the Paediatric Mini-Series, we explore one of the most important—and sometimes overlooked—aspects of paediatric care: analgesia. Effective pain management in children not only improves comfort but also reduces fear, builds trust, and improves outcomes.

We discuss the challenges in recognising and treating pain in children, practical approaches for safe analgesia, and debunk common myths that contribute to under-treatment.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

Why pain in children is under-recognised and under-treated
Age-appropriate pain assessment tools (FLACC, Wong-Baker)
First-line pharmacological options: paracetamol, ibuprofen, intranasal fentanyl, morphine, entonox and methoxyflurane
Non-pharmacological approaches: parental involvement, play therapy, positioning

📊 Evidence Highlight: A 2016 systematic review published in BMC Emergency Medicine found that pain is frequently under-assessed and under-treated in paediatric emergency settings.
