In the past, acute pain management consisted primarily of opioids given intermittently by intramuscular injection. In addition to pain on injection, this led to undesirable “analgesic gaps,” or periods of inadequate pain control between peak and trough opioid levels. Consequently, patients were often reluctant to request pain medications that were ordered “as needed.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1141738256 ER -
