The management of pain in the emergency department.
The challenge for emergency medicine physicians in the new millennium is to use these drugs and drug combinations to make ED visits pain-free and safe experiences. With dedication to research, a willingness to take the time to explore new options, and expansion of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions, physicians can make this lofty dream a reality.
