title: [Relationship between model of analgesia and injured body part in trauma patients].
abstract: Little attention has been paid to the injured regarding pain management in the emergency room. This study aims at identifying relationships between the analgesia model and the body part most severely and frequently injured in traffic accident victims. For the data collection, medical records of 200 patients hospitalized at a reference hospital for trauma victims in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, were used. Analyzing the relationship between standard analgesia and the most severely injured body part, it was possible to confirm the association of significance between these two variables, as well as for the body part most frequently injured. The results provide elements for the creation of trauma analgesia protocols.
