The management of pain in patients with traumatic injuries is a common task for emergency medicine providers, particularly in the prehospital setting. However, for sufficient and safe analgesia, correct pain recording and documentation is also necessary. The aim of this study was to assess trends in analgesia over the study period and to identify factors that may enable more sufficient pain management in trauma care.
