With a focus on practical acute pain management in the hospital setting, Macintyre's Acute Pain Management provides health professionals with simple but detailed information to help them manage patients with acute pain safely and effectively in both surgical and nonsurgical settings. With updated information for all medications and techniques, the sixth edition of this established text firmly addresses the controversial issues in analgesic stewardship, as well as the pharmacology of opioids in the context of the opioid epidemic, identifying possible strategies to minimise the risks. Combining evidence-based information with practical guidelines and protocols, it offers vital knowledge on the management of acute pain, including in patients with spinal cord injuries, burns, and selected medical illnesses. More complex issues are covered, such as treating the older patient, those with addiction disorders, pregnant or lactating patients, and patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. ‘Key Points’ in each chapter provide levels of evidence for efficacy and outcomes to better guide readers when it comes to choice of medication or analgesia intervention. Macintyre's Acute Pain Management is a valuable and reliable reference for the variety of professionals who need to assess and manage acute pain, including practicing and trainee anaesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anaesthetists, and anaesthesia assistants.
