Acute Pain Management
Key Facts
Acute pain is best managed with multimodal analgesia (e.g., paracetamol ± NSAID ± local/regional anaesthesia) with opioids for breakthrough pain.
For severe pain, IV morphine can be titrated in small boluses (e.g., 2 mg every 5 minutes) to effect with close monitoring.
