Summary

The aim of this book is to provide simple, practical guidance for those who prescribe and administer drugs for acute pain relief, particularly physicians and nurses. This book is not intended as a comprehensive review of the subject or to replace current texts, but as a practical,, problem-oriented guide to an important subject which is often poorly understood and inadequately managed. Within the limits of this book's size, it is impossible to include every problem that may arise, but the information contained provides a logical approach to any acute pain problem.
