AB Emergency  physicians  are  called  on  to  provide  care  for  a  variety  of  emergent,  urgent,  and  often  complex  conditions.  Many  patients  present  with  pain  as  a  component  of  their  illness  or  require  diagnostic  and/or  therapeutic  interventions  that  are  inherently  painful  to  perform.  As  a  result,  the  management  of  analgesia  in  the  emergency  department  (ED)  is  a  critical  skill  and  an  important  element  in  the  overall  care  of  patients  in  this  setting.  This  chapter  is  an  overview  of  acute  pain  in  the  context  of  the  ED  as  well  as  potential  therapies,  including  regional  anesthetic  techniques  for  the  emergency  physician.
