Prehospital management of pain associated with acute complications of Sickle Cell Disease: a preliminary nationwide cross-sectional study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the epidemiology of emergency medical services (EMS) encounters for complications related to sickle cell disease (SCD) and to evaluate the factors influencing the administration of analgesia for SCD-related pain. Their findings revealed that while longer patient contact times were associated with higher rates of analgesia administration, overall pain management was inadequate, highlighting the need for improved protocols in EMS for treating SCD-related pain.
