Pain management is an essential and basic humanitarian standard in the care of injured children and our aim as caregivers is to relieve pain as early and as completely as possible.

Unmanaged pain leads to short- and long-term adverse effects including delayed healing, along with increased risk of developing chronic pain syndromes, post-traumatic stress disorder and poor functional outcomes all of which can have a lifelong impact for the child.

A structured and comprehensive approach to pain management in children is essential for a simple yet effective approach to pain management for children.

Quick Guide: Emergency Pain Management for Injured Children

Effective pain management is an important part of caring for injured children, wherever that care takes place. Developed by the Paediatric Blast Injury Partnership, this free, downloadable eBook provides practical guidance to help healthcare professionals recognise, assess and manage pain in children of all ages.

Using the simple PAIN approach (Plan, Assess, Intervene, Next Steps), the guide explores physical, psychological and pharmacological approaches to pain relief, alongside age-appropriate assessment tools, analgesic guidance and specific considerations for burns, limb injuries and neonates. Designed for both everyday emergency care and challenging, resource-limited environments, this comprehensive guide aims to help clinicians provide compassionate, effective pain relief for every child.
