Burns, 09/29/09
Richardson P et al. – The adverse sequalae of inadequate pain control in the burn population have been long recognised, yet control of pain remains inadequate globally. The family of opioid analgesics provide the backbone of analgesia to burn patients. NMDA receptor antagonist such as ketamine and gabapentin are increasingly recognised as useful adjuncts, capable of marked opiate sparing effects in this population. The simple analgesic paracetamol has both anti–pyretic and opioid–sparing properties and justly deserves its place in the pharmacological treatment of every burn patient.
