Management of Pain in the Critically Ill

Abstract

Analgesia for critically ill patients can be provided most effectively by the use of modern techniques. Under standing of the anatomical pathways for nociceptive sig nal transmission allows the use of techniques that mod ulate or block nociceptive information at several levels (periphery, spinal cord, and systemic). A comprehen sive discussion of analgesic techniques at each level is presented. Formulation of a treatment plan is discussed. Several examples are presented to show the decision- making process for the use of modern analgesic tech niques in critically ill patients.
