Evidence-based practical guideline for procedural pain management and sedation for burn pediatrics patients undergoing wound care procedures.
Abstract
Almost all children with burns experience pain as a result of a complex pathophysiologic process that is usually untreated, and up to 38% of all pediatric burn victims develop anxiety disorders due to pain after hospital admission. Hence, it is important to manage pain and anxiety in the care of burn victim children. The goal of this review was to develop an evidence-based guideline for procedural pain management and sedation for burned children undergoing wound care procedures.
