A proposito di questo titolo

Despite frequent reports of severe pain, many trauma patients receive little or no analgesia from paramedics. This gap often stems from a mix of cultural and clinical factors — fear of masking injuries or altering mental status, concern about hypotension or respiratory depression, limited drug options, and restrictive protocols that demand physician approval. Some medics also hesitate due to ingrained bias, uncertainty about patient honesty, or past experiences with drug-seeking behavior. Together, these barriers create a pattern of “under-treating” pain in the field, even when timely relief could improve outcomes and patient trust.
