How that pain is managed is still up to debate in some systems and under many protocols. Paramedics are at the forefront of care and the first point of care for many patients and yet they are often unable or unwilling to use major pain management drugs in the field to treat their patients. Following upon last week's part 1 of our physiology of pain segment,this week features part two of that episode to give EMS providers a better understanding of how pain works and how to better manage pain for our patients.
