Often patients present with pain as the primary symptom of their illness or require diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions that are inherently painful to perform. As a result, the management of pain in the emergency department (ED) is a critical skill and an important element in the overall care of patients in emergency settings. This chapter provides an overview of acute pain in the ED as well as potential therapies, including regional anesthetic techniques for the emergency physician.
