AB  - The  field  of  acute  pain  management  has  changed  substantially  in  recent  years.  In  the  past,  acute  pain  management  consisted  primarily  of  opioids  given  intermittently  by  intramuscular  injection.  In  addition  to  pain  on  injection,  this  lead  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  ordered  “as  needed.”
