With a focus on practical acute pain management in the hospital setting, Macintyre’s Acute Pain Management: A Practical Guide provides health professionals with simple and practical information to help them manage adult patients with acute pain safely and effectively in both surgical and nonsurgical settings. Incorporating updated information for all medications and techniques, the sixth edition of this established text addresses the key issues in analgesic stewardship, including in the preadmission (where possible), admission and postdischarge phases of a patient’s care. Combining evidence-based information with practical guidelines and protocols, it offers vital knowledge on the management of acute pain in both surgical and nonsurgical patients, including in those with spinal cord injuries, burns, and selected medical illnesses. More complex issues are covered, such as treating the older patient, those with a substance use disorder, pregnant or lactating patients, patients with sleep-disordered breathing, and those with renal or hepatic impairment. The benefits and potential risks for analgesic medications as well as techniques are discussed, and strategies are outlined that aim to help mitigate patient harm, including after discharge from hospital. Macintyre’s Acute Pain Management: A Practical Guide is a valuable and reliable reference for the variety of professionals who will assess and manage patients with acute pain, including trainees in anaesthesia and pain medicine programmes, certified registered nurse anaesthetists, and anaesthesia assistants, junior medical staff and nurses, and undergraduate/graduate entry level students in medical, nursing, pharmacy and other health professional courses.
