PAIN IN THE ICU

Managing pain in the ICU is an ongoing and significant challenge for the critical care team. However, a new five-article series published in CHEST reviews the complex nature of pain experienced by a critical care patient and details the benefits of taking a comprehensive approach to pain management—one that combines pharmacotherapy with behavioral, social, and communication strategies, interdisciplinary teams, and family involvement. Published in the April, May, and June issues of CHEST, the Pain in the ICU article series was developed by critical care experts from the Critical Care Institute of the ACCP, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
