Following on from Part I, this webinar reviews the four stages of the pain pathway and uses a case study of Bruno, a 12-year-old Labrador hit by a car, to build a pain management plan. It introduces the PATTER approach and explains the difference between pre-emptive and preventative analgesia, why analgesia should be given early, and the drug classes used across the perioperative period.
It then covers multimodal analgesia, its benefits for the patient and the anaesthetic, and non-pharmacological techniques such as TLC, comfortable bedding and enrichment. It finishes by revisiting Bruno’s case with an improved analgesic plan from first aid through to discharge.
Presented by Jess Male at the 2023 ACVN Nurse Conference.
