Abstract
The 2020 American Burn Association guidelines recommend a multimodal approach to pain management comprised of both opioids and non-opioids. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes before and after implementation of a multimodal pain order set in the burn admission order set within the electronic medical record. This single center, retrospective, cohort study was conducted at an American Burn Association-verified burn center. The pre-group (n = 64) and post-group (n = 63) were well-matched with respect to all baseline demographics, such as total body surface area, length of stay, mechanical ventilation, and number of procedures. The primary outcome was daily morphine milligram equivalents received cumulatively through admission day seven. There was a significant reduction in cumulative median morphine milligram equivalents received in the post-group compared to the pre-group (172 versus 97, p = 0.042) without worsening evidence of pain. Doses of scheduled acetaminophen (62.5 % versus 95.2 %, p < 0.001), ibuprofen (31.3 % versus 42.9 %, p = 0.017), and ketamine (14.1 % versus 28.6 %, p = 0.043) were significantly increased in the post-group. Multimodal order set integration significantly improved guideline recommended multimodal analgesic use and is one effective method to increase non-opioid analgesic use for acute pain following a burn injury.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
