bull Hospice and Palliative Care

bull Professional and personal experiences

bull Education grants and research mutidisciplinary

Why Focus on Pain Management

bull Chronic pain alone affects more Americans than diabetes cancer and heart disease combined

bull Pain is the most common reason for seeking health care and as a presenting complaint accounts for up to 78 of ED visits

bull Pain is often undertreated especially in children women African-Americans and Hispanics

bull Trauma accounts for 28 of pediatric EMS calls but lt1 receive pain medications (PECARN)

bull Why donrsquot we treat pain like any other abnormal VS or disease

bull Dilemma of balancing safe opioid prescribing and high-risk patient recognition with appropriate pain management strategies for those in significant pain while being mindful of different types of pain individual pain factors and comorbidities

bull Analgesic shortages

bull Multimodal management options

Why Is Pediatric Pain Management So Important

Examples of Common Painful Pediatric Procedures Include

Orthopedic proceduresFx

reduction

Burn amp wound debridement

Cardioversion endoscopy or bronchoscopy

IV or blood drawLumbar

puncture

Chesttube insertion

Radiographic studies in agitated or uncooperative

patients

Abscess incision amp drainage

Laceration repair

Foreign body removal

Other Pediatric Scenarios Requiring Sedation Analgesia andor Anxiolysis

Other Reasons Pediatric Pain Management Important

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Sets the trajectory and

tone for future pain

experiences as an

adolescent and adult

hellipmedical training in pain

management is scant

Veterinary schools require

ldquoat least five times more

education on how to handle

painrdquo than medical schools Nora D Volkow the director of the

National Institute on Drug Abuse

said earlier this year in testimony

before a Senate committee

Why Arenrsquot We Managing Childrenrsquos Pain NY Times April 2016

ldquoOne of the best ways to address the

epidemic of chronic pain in this

country is to stop it before it startshellip

If we could reduce painful

experiences in childhood we might be

able to reduce chronic pain in the

next generationrdquo

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Krane EJ Weisman SJ Walco GA Pediatrics 2018 142(2)e20181623hellip know that opioids are associated with many untoward side effects and are potentially lethalhellipbelieve there is a reason why opioids have been used to treat pain since the Sumerians 5000 years ago no other analgesics equal in potency and effect have been discovered to reduce sufferinghellipstaunch advocates for need to provide adequate treatment of pain and suffering after surgeries burns physical trauma and medical illnesses such as sickle cell cancer CDC reports ldquoopioid-related deaths rdquo deaths that occur with opioids in the blood without any other attribution for the cause of deathhellip better called the ldquopolypharmacy overdose epidemic rdquoscant evidence to support existence of an epidemic of deaths due to the appropriate use of prescribed opioids

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

severe dog bite to face and lip Refuses sedation or pain meds due to concern for addiction

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

bull Is development normal for agebull Developmental delaybull Autismbull Special health care needsbull Mental health concernsbull Recent traumatic events

bull Regression to lower developmental stage

What are characteristics of developmental stage in response to painHow do you adapt your approach based on developmental level

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

bull Document reassessments

bull Child should be back to baseline and tolerating fluids at discharge

bull Falls prevention

bull Transportation

bull Discharge planning and instructions

bull Pain plan

Step 7 Monitoring amp Discharge Checkpoint

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

bull decrease adverse events

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

bull What is the developmental stage of patient

bull Is development normal for agebull Developmental delaybull Autismbull Special health care needsbull Mental health concernsbull Recent traumatic events

bull Regression to lower developmental stage

What are characteristics of developmental stage in response to painHow do you adapt your approach based on developmental level

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Why Is Pediatric Pain Management So Important

Examples of Common Painful Pediatric Procedures Include

Orthopedic proceduresFx

reduction

Burn amp wound debridement

Cardioversion endoscopy or bronchoscopy

IV or blood drawLumbar

puncture

Chesttube insertion

Radiographic studies in agitated or uncooperative

patients

Abscess incision amp drainage

Laceration repair

Foreign body removal

Other Reasons Pediatric Pain Management Important

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Sets the trajectory and

tone for future pain

experiences as an

adolescent and adult

hellipmedical training in pain

management is scant

Veterinary schools require

ldquoat least five times more

education on how to handle

painrdquo than medical schools Nora D Volkow the director of the

National Institute on Drug Abuse

said earlier this year in testimony

before a Senate committee

Why Arenrsquot We Managing Childrenrsquos Pain NY Times April 2016

ldquoOne of the best ways to address the

epidemic of chronic pain in this

country is to stop it before it startshellip

If we could reduce painful

experiences in childhood we might be

able to reduce chronic pain in the

next generationrdquo

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Krane EJ Weisman SJ Walco GA Pediatrics 2018 142(2)e20181623hellip know that opioids are associated with many untoward side effects and are potentially lethalhellipbelieve there is a reason why opioids have been used to treat pain since the Sumerians 5000 years ago no other analgesics equal in potency and effect have been discovered to reduce sufferinghellipstaunch advocates for need to provide adequate treatment of pain and suffering after surgeries burns physical trauma and medical illnesses such as sickle cell cancer CDC reports ldquoopioid-related deaths rdquo deaths that occur with opioids in the blood without any other attribution for the cause of deathhellip better called the ldquopolypharmacy overdose epidemic rdquoscant evidence to support existence of an epidemic of deaths due to the appropriate use of prescribed opioids

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

severe dog bite to face and lip Refuses sedation or pain meds due to concern for addiction

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

Coping statements ldquoI can do thisrdquo or ldquothis will be over soonrdquo

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Other Reasons Pediatric Pain Management Important

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

bull decrease adverse events

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

Language to Avoid Language to Use

You will be fine there is nothing to worry about (reassurance) What did you do in school today (distraction)

This is going to hurtthis wonrsquot hurt (vague negative focus) It might feel like a pinch (sensory information)

The nurse is going to take some blood (vague information)First the nurse will clean your arm you will feel the cold alcohol pad

and nexthellip (sensory and procedural information)

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

It is over (negative focus)You did a great job doing the deep breathing holding stillhellip

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

bull Is development normal for agebull Developmental delaybull Autismbull Special health care needsbull Mental health concernsbull Recent traumatic events

bull Regression to lower developmental stage

What are characteristics of developmental stage in response to painHow do you adapt your approach based on developmental level

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

Language to Avoid Language to Use

You will be fine there is nothing to worry about (reassurance) What did you do in school today (distraction)

This is going to hurtthis wonrsquot hurt (vague negative focus) It might feel like a pinch (sensory information)

The nurse is going to take some blood (vague information)First the nurse will clean your arm you will feel the cold alcohol pad

and nexthellip (sensory and procedural information)

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

It is over (negative focus)You did a great job doing the deep breathing holding stillhellip

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Why Is Pediatric Pain Management So Important

Examples of Common Painful Pediatric Procedures Include

Orthopedic proceduresFx

reduction

Burn amp wound debridement

Cardioversion endoscopy or bronchoscopy

IV or blood drawLumbar

puncture

Chesttube insertion

Radiographic studies in agitated or uncooperative

patients

Abscess incision amp drainage

Laceration repair

Foreign body removal

Other Reasons Pediatric Pain Management Important

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Sets the trajectory and

tone for future pain

experiences as an

adolescent and adult

hellipmedical training in pain

management is scant

Veterinary schools require

ldquoat least five times more

education on how to handle

painrdquo than medical schools Nora D Volkow the director of the

National Institute on Drug Abuse

said earlier this year in testimony

before a Senate committee

Why Arenrsquot We Managing Childrenrsquos Pain NY Times April 2016

ldquoOne of the best ways to address the

epidemic of chronic pain in this

country is to stop it before it startshellip

If we could reduce painful

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

severe dog bite to face and lip Refuses sedation or pain meds due to concern for addiction

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Other Reasons Pediatric Pain Management Important

bull Early management provides long-term benefits

bull decreased long-term sequela in children

bull prevention of chronic pain through the development of hypersensitized pain pathways

bull uncontrolled acute pain link to PTSDPTSS and if inadequately treated can lead to chronic pain depression sleep disorders etc

Sets the trajectory and

tone for future pain

experiences as an

adolescent and adult

hellipmedical training in pain

management is scant

Veterinary schools require

ldquoat least five times more

education on how to handle

painrdquo than medical schools Nora D Volkow the director of the

National Institute on Drug Abuse

said earlier this year in testimony

before a Senate committee

Why Arenrsquot We Managing Childrenrsquos Pain NY Times April 2016

ldquoOne of the best ways to address the

epidemic of chronic pain in this

country is to stop it before it startshellip

If we could reduce painful

able to reduce chronic pain in the

next generationrdquo

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Krane EJ Weisman SJ Walco GA Pediatrics 2018 142(2)e20181623hellip know that opioids are associated with many untoward side effects and are potentially lethalhellipbelieve there is a reason why opioids have been used to treat pain since the Sumerians 5000 years ago no other analgesics equal in potency and effect have been discovered to reduce sufferinghellipstaunch advocates for need to provide adequate treatment of pain and suffering after surgeries burns physical trauma and medical illnesses such as sickle cell cancer CDC reports ldquoopioid-related deaths rdquo deaths that occur with opioids in the blood without any other attribution for the cause of deathhellip better called the ldquopolypharmacy overdose epidemic rdquoscant evidence to support existence of an epidemic of deaths due to the appropriate use of prescribed opioids

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

severe dog bite to face and lip Refuses sedation or pain meds due to concern for addiction

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Ketamine first used to treat pain-1989

1990rsquos

bull Ketamine declared a Schedule III Drug controlled substance in the US

2000rsquos

bull Increased

use in

treatment of

acute amp

chronic pain

bull Ketamine as

treatment for

depression

bull From the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (Reg Anesth Pain Med 201843 456ndash466)

bull Evidence supports the use of subanesthetic ketamine for acute pain in a variety of contexts including as a stand-alone treatment as an adjunct to opioids and to a lesser extent as an intranasal formulation

Step 7 Monitoring And Discharge Checkpoint

bull Joint Commission standards

bull Document reassessments

bull Child should be back to baseline and tolerating fluids at discharge

bull Falls prevention

bull Transportation

bull Discharge planning and instructions

bull Pain plan

Step 7 Monitoring amp Discharge Checkpoint

Language to Avoid Language to Use

You will be fine there is nothing to worry about (reassurance) What did you do in school today (distraction)

This is going to hurtthis wonrsquot hurt (vague negative focus) It might feel like a pinch (sensory information)

The nurse is going to take some blood (vague information)First the nurse will clean your arm you will feel the cold alcohol pad

and nexthellip (sensory and procedural information)

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

It is over (negative focus)You did a great job doing the deep breathing holding stillhellip

(labelled praise)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

bull Is development normal for agebull Developmental delaybull Autismbull Special health care needsbull Mental health concernsbull Recent traumatic events

bull Regression to lower developmental stage

What are characteristics of developmental stage in response to painHow do you adapt your approach based on developmental level

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

hellipmedical training in pain

management is scant

Veterinary schools require

ldquoat least five times more

education on how to handle

painrdquo than medical schools Nora D Volkow the director of the

National Institute on Drug Abuse

said earlier this year in testimony

before a Senate committee

Why Arenrsquot We Managing Childrenrsquos Pain NY Times April 2016

ldquoOne of the best ways to address the

epidemic of chronic pain in this

country is to stop it before it startshellip

If we could reduce painful

experiences in childhood we might be

able to reduce chronic pain in the

next generationrdquo

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

Krane EJ Weisman SJ Walco GA Pediatrics 2018 142(2)e20181623hellip know that opioids are associated with many untoward side effects and are potentially lethalhellipbelieve there is a reason why opioids have been used to treat pain since the Sumerians 5000 years ago no other analgesics equal in potency and effect have been discovered to reduce sufferinghellipstaunch advocates for need to provide adequate treatment of pain and suffering after surgeries burns physical trauma and medical illnesses such as sickle cell cancer CDC reports ldquoopioid-related deaths rdquo deaths that occur with opioids in the blood without any other attribution for the cause of deathhellip better called the ldquopolypharmacy overdose epidemic rdquoscant evidence to support existence of an epidemic of deaths due to the appropriate use of prescribed opioids

Pediatric ED Pain Scenarios- Huge Spectrum

bull A 6 yo sickle cell patient in Florida on vacation- presents in severe pain despite trying usual pain plan and medications

bull A 14 yo presents with JRA and severe joint pain

bull A 5 yo presents after fall off monkey bars with obvious deformity of arm

bull An irritable 6 month old presents with a huge abscess and fever

bull A 3 yo presents with burns after pulling pot of boiling water off the stove

28

Cases I am seeing nowbull 2 yo child of a health care provider

severe dog bite to face and lip Refuses sedation or pain meds due to concern for addiction

bull 15 yo positive for suicidal ideation and cutting on triage screening Having joint and generalized pain for months Ibuprofen and acetaminophen do not work Mother desperate and taking her for acupuncture without the PCP or Fatherrsquos knowledge

bull Mother demanding Rx for fentanyl patches for her sons ankle sprain

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

Chronic Pain in Children Important link between post-traumatic stress amp sleep

Patrick Finan PhD and Melanie Noel PhD

bull Sleep disturbances considered an underlying factor in the co-occurrence of chronic pain and PTSS

bull Chronic pain and sleep are intimately related with strong evidence for a reciprocal association

bull Beyond the influence of demographics and anxiety symptoms sleep quality partially mediates relationships between PTSS and pain intensity and interference

bull Hyperarousal has been linked to increased pain sensitivity pain-related anxiety and pain-avoidant behaviors

Outpatient Opioid Prescriptions for Children and Opioid-Related Adverse Events (Pediatrics Aug 2018 142 (2) e20172156) C

P Chung MD MPH S T Callahan MD MPH W O Cooper MD MPH et al

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

Editorial The National Opioid Epidemic and the Risk of Outpatient Opioids in Children

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Condition

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

Coping statements ldquoI can do thisrdquo or ldquothis will be over soonrdquo

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

METHODS Retrospective cohort study between 1999 and 2014 included TN Medicaid children and adolescents aged 2 - 7 without major chronic diseases prolongedhospitalization institutional residence or evidence of a substance use disorder Weestimated the annual prevalence of outpatient opioid prescriptions and incidence of opioid related adverse events defined as an ED visit hospitalization or deathrelated to an opioid adverse effect

CONCLUSIONS Children without severe conditions enrolled in Tennessee Medicaid frequently filled outpatient opioid prescriptions for acute self-limited conditions One of every 2611 study opioid prescriptions was followed by an opioid-related adverse event (712 of which were related to therapeutic use of the prescribed opioid)

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

Use standardized assessment

tool

33

Consider

bull The childrsquos primary language

bull Words or phrases suggested by the parentcaregiver

bull The childrsquos developmental level

Explore

bull Location of pain

bull Duration of pain

bull Quality of pain

bull Precipitating factors

bull Effect on daily activities

bull Pain relief measures

bull Previous pain experiences

Assess physiologic parameters

Perform behavioral

observation

Question the child

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

bull Age

bull Cognitive ability and language

bull Institutional preference

bull Use the same pain scale throughout the EMSEDhospital experience

bull Educate the childparentcaregiver about the use of the scale

39

Assess physiologic parameters

Question the child

Use standardized

assessment tool

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

40

bull There are different validated pain

scales available for a variety of patient populations

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

Language to Avoid Language to Use

You will be fine there is nothing to worry about (reassurance) What did you do in school today (distraction)

This is going to hurtthis wonrsquot hurt (vague negative focus) It might feel like a pinch (sensory information)

The nurse is going to take some blood (vague information)First the nurse will clean your arm you will feel the cold alcohol pad

and nexthellip (sensory and procedural information)

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

It is over (negative focus)You did a great job doing the deep breathing holding stillhellip

(labelled praise)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

bull decrease adverse events

The nurse is going to take some blood (vague information)First the nurse will clean your arm you will feel the cold alcohol pad

and nexthellip (sensory and procedural information)

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

It is over (negative focus)You did a great job doing the deep breathing holding stillhellip

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

First Step is Recognition and Assessment of Pediatric Pain

The First Step is to Recognize or Anticipate a Painful Condition

bull Children often cannot differentiate between pain and anxiety

bull The childrsquos demonstration of pain and response to pain is multifactorial and related to age or developmental stage

bull Procedures and treatments used to manage the disease or injury may induce pain

31

Factors Affecting Pediatric Response to Painful Stimuli

bull Age gender ethnicity

bull Socioeconomic and psychiatric factors

bull Culture and religion

bull Genetics

bull Previous experiences

bull Patientfamily perceptions

32

Elements of Pain Assessment

34

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

What are Some Reasons A Child or Adolescent Might Not Disclose Their Pain

37

Why Children Might Not Disclose Pain

bull Avoidance of painful treatments

bull Fear of being sick

bull Fear of healthcare professionals

bull Protection of parents or caregiver

bull Avoidance of hospitalization

bull Desire to return to activitiesbull Sportsbull Social eventsbull School

38

Choose an appropriate tool based on the childrsquos

Pain Assessment Scales

bull Pain scales fall into 2 general categories

bull Observational-behavioral scales require provider to assess patient on multiple behaviors and rank them

bull Self-report scales include selection of a face or color or number to represent pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

There are numerous mnemonics on how to obtain pain history OPQRST SOCRATES and QISS TAPED

OPQRSTO ndash Onset of event

bull What was the patient doing when it started Were they active inactive and or stressed

bull Did that specific activity prompt or start the onset of pain bull Was onset of pain sudden gradual or part of an ongoing chronic

problem

P - Provocation and palliation of symptoms bull Is the pain better or worse with

bull Activity Does walking standing lifting twisting reading etchellip have any effect of the painbull Position Which position causes or relieves pain Provide examples to the patient-- sitting

standing supine lateral etchellip bull Adjuvant Which type of medication relieves the pain (Tylenol Ibuprofen etc ) Does the use of

heat or ice packs alleviate pain What type of alternative therapy (massage acupuncture) have you used before

bull Does any movement pressure (such as palpation) or other external factor make the problem better or worse This can also include whether the symptoms relieve with rest

35

36

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Pain Assessment SOCRATES

Site - Where is the pain Or the maximal site of the pain

Onset - When did the pain start and was it sudden or gradual Include also whether if it is progressive or regressive

Character - What is the pain like An ache Stabbing

Radiation - Does the pain radiate anywhere (See also Radiation)

Associations - Any other signs or symptoms associated with the pain

Time course - Does the pain follow any pattern

ExacerbatingRelieving factors - Does anything change the pain

Severity - How bad is the pain

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

You are acting like a baby (criticism) Letrsquos get your mind off of it tell me about that moviehellip(distraction)

It will feel like a bee sting (negative focus) Tell me how it feels (information)

The procedure will last as long ashellip (negative focus)The procedure will be shorter thanhellip (television program or other

familiar time for child) (procedural information positive focus)

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Validity and Reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for Children Aged 4 to 17 Years With Acute Pain

Tsze DS1 von Baeyer CL Pahalyants V Dayan PSSTUDY OBJECTIVE The Verbal Numerical Rating Scale is the most commonly used self-report measure of pain intensity It is unclear how the validity and reliability of the scale scores vary across childrens ages We aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the scale for children presenting to the ED across a comprehensive spectrum of ageMETHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children aged 4 to 17 yearsRESULTS Enrolled 760 children 27 did not understand the Verbal NRS and were removed Reliability was strong in all age subgroups including each year of age from 4 -7 yearsCONCLUSION Convergent validity known-groups validity responsivity and reliability of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale were strong for children aged 6 to 17 years Convergent validity was not strong for children aged 4 and 5 years Our findings support the use of the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale for most children aged 6 years and older but not for those aged 4 and 5 years

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

bull decrease adverse events

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

Coping statements ldquoI can do thisrdquo or ldquothis will be over soonrdquo

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

bull Is development normal for agebull Developmental delaybull Autismbull Special health care needsbull Mental health concernsbull Recent traumatic events

bull Regression to lower developmental stage

What are characteristics of developmental stage in response to painHow do you adapt your approach based on developmental level

Kids and teens donrsquot always follow the charts

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

bull Who is with the child- parents siblingshellip

bull Who is the legal guardian

bull Who actually cares for the child

bull Who do you want to deal with

bull Culture past experience

bull What can they tolerate

bull Other priorities- another injured child etc

bull Family personality and stress level

Step 3 Family Dynamic Checkpoint

Step 4 Facility (AgencyCommunity) Checkpoint

bull Staffing and setting

bull Community rural childrenrsquos hospital

bull Experience

bull Pediatric

bull Team capabilities and expertise

bull Existing hospitalagency policies

bull Acuity and overcrowding of the ED

bull Other priorities- MCI etc

bull Equipment monitoring backup

Step 4 Facility Checkpoint

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

bull Review history assessment and risk factors

bull Chronic illness-previous painful experiences recent surgery

bull Psychiatric and mental considerations

bull Injury severity +- contraindications to opioids or sedation

bull Body habitus

bull Weight- ideal or real Obesity

Step 5 Patient Assessment Checkpoint

Step 6 Management Checkpoint Choose Your ldquoReciperdquo

bull No magic recipe must individualize and adjust ldquoIngredientsrdquo

bull Pharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Route oral nasal IV nebulized topical nerve blocks

bull Type sucrose NSAID opioids anxiolytics ketamine

bull Nonpharmacologic ldquoingredientsrdquo

bull Everyone needs a little child life 101- distraction music swaddling

bull Engage caregivers and parents- coaching therapeutic language

Always consider nonpharmacologic options +- medications

Will pain duration be short (removal of FB laceration repair) or prolonged (burn)

Step 2 Perform a Developmental or Cognitive Checkpoint

Responses to Pain by Age or Development

Age Group Understanding of Pain Behavioral Response Verbal Description

Preschoolers

3ndash6 years (preoperational)

Pain is a hurt Does not relate pain to illness may relate pain to an injury Often believes pain is punishment Unable to understand why a painful procedure will help them feel better or why an injection takes the pain away

Active physical resistance directed aggressive behavior strikes out physically and verbally when hurt low frustration level

Has language skills to express pain on a sensory level Can identify location and intensity of pain denies pain may believe his or her pain is obvious to others

School-Age Children

7ndash9 years (concreteoperations)

Doesnrsquot understand cause of pain Understands simple relationships between pain and disease and need for painful procedures to treat disease May associate pain with feeling bad or angry recognize psychologic pain related to grief and hurt feelings

Passive resistance clenches fists holds body rigidly still suffers emotional withdrawal engages in plea bargaining

Can specify location and intensity of pain and describes pain physical characteristics in relation to body parts

10ndash12 years (transitional)

Better understanding of relationship between an event and pain More complex awareness of physical and psychologic pain(moral dilemmas mental pain)

May pretend comfort to project bravery may regress with stress and anxiety

Able to describe intensity and location with more characteristics able to describe psychologic pain

Adolescents

13ndash18 years(formaloperations)

Has a capacity for sophisticated and complex under-standing of causes of physical and mental pain Recognizes pain has qualitative and quantitative characteristics Can relate to pain experienced by others

Want to behave in socially acceptable manner -like adults controlled response May not complain if given cues from other healthcare providers

More sophisticated descriptions with experience may think nurses are in tune with their thoughts so donrsquot need to tell nurse about their pain

bull Ketamine first used to treat pain-1989

1990rsquos

bull Ketamine declared a Schedule III Drug controlled substance in the US

2000rsquos

bull Increased

use in

treatment of

acute amp

chronic pain

bull Ketamine as

treatment for

depression

Consensus Guidelines on the Use of Intravenous Ketamine Infusions for Acute Pain Management

bull From the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Society of Anesthesiologists (Reg Anesth Pain Med 201843 456ndash466)

bull Evidence supports the use of subanesthetic ketamine for acute pain in a variety of contexts including as a stand-alone treatment as an adjunct to opioids and to a lesser extent as an intranasal formulation

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Adapted from Murray KK Hollman GA Non-pharmacologic interventions in children during medical and surgical procedures In Tobias JD Cravero JP eds Procedural Sedation for Infants children and adolescents Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine American Academy of Pediatrics 2016

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

The medicine will burn (negative focus)Some children say they feel a warm feeling (sensory information

positive focus)

Tell me when you are ready (too much control)When I count to three blow the feeling away from your body

(coaching to cope distraction limited control)

I am sorry (apologizing) You are being very brave (praise encouragement)

Donrsquot cry (negative focus) That was hard I am proud of you (praise)

Adapted from Murray KK Hollman GA Non-pharmacologic interventions in children during medical and surgical procedures In Tobias JD Cravero JP eds Procedural Sedation for Infants children and adolescents Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine American Academy of Pediatrics 2016

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

Adapted from Murray KK Hollman GA Non-pharmacologic interventions in children during medical and surgical procedures In Tobias JD Cravero JP eds Procedural Sedation for Infants children and adolescents Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine American Academy of Pediatrics 2016

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

requiring immobilization and transport

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Cognitive Development

bull Because young children are cognitively immature physical comfort measures and distraction activities are more effective than verbal reasoning

bull Children do not have sufficient cognitive development to understand strangers trying to reassure them until age 5-7 years

Comfort Positioning

Comfort Positioning

bull Why use positioning for comfort

bull Sitting position promotes sense of

control and reduces anxiety

bull Puts child in a secure comforting hold

bull Promotes close contact with caregiver

bull Provides caregiver with an active role

May be prohibited in trauma patients

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

Painting Analogy

Think of nonpharmacologic management as your ldquobase coatrdquo or ldquoprimerrdquo before applying additional coats of analgesic treatment With the right base coat foundation you have a better chance of painting a patientrsquos symptoms a more tolerable and long-lasting new color

(PEM Playbook httppemplaybookorgpodcastpediatric-pain

New Emphasis on Nonpharmacologic Methods of Treating Pain

bull Nonpharmacologic pain management techniques should be considered along with pharmacologic techniques and may

bull improve assessment

bull decrease or avoid the use of opioids or anxiolytics

bull decrease time and recovery for procedures

bull decrease adverse events

Laceration example- distraction wound glue fan +-nasal midazolam

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

Guided Imagery

bull Helps patients use imagination to divert thoughts from the pain or procedure to a more pleasant experience

bull Helps patients use their imagination to create a descriptive story

bull Guided Imagery Options

76

Option 1- Visit a ldquorelaxingrdquo place and change image of pain or turn off

pain with a ldquopain switchrdquo in the brain Ask patient to locate the pain

switch and turn down level of pain to a more comfortable level

Option 2- Identify a ldquopainrdquo color and a ldquocomfortrdquo color Ask patient to

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

patient to associate their pain with a color then view the painful part of

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a

patient with severe arthritis pain complains of pain in one joint ask them

to think about how the pain feels Does it feel like a knife Imagine

pulling the knife out and throwing it away Focusing on an affirmation can

also help ldquoI am removing the knife and throwing it awayrdquo

Music Therapy

bull Additionally benefits parents and health care providers caring for the anxious patient

bull Many larger hospitals have music therapists or volunteers

Beneficial in reducing pain anxiety and stress in EDs waiting rooms procedure rooms and during transport

bull Ways to implement

bull Have patient select music from available electronic devices or their own- keep supply of disposable headphones or earbuds

DistractionDistraction is the most common type of cognitive-behavioral method

Used to guide attention away from painful stimuli It is most effective when adapted to the patientrsquos developmental and cognitive level

Research indicates that distraction can lead to reduction in procedure times and number of staff required especially in children Researchers hypothesize that children

ldquocannot attend to more than one significant stimulus at a timerdquo

Distraction is most effective when pain is mild to moderate (it is difficult to concentrate when pain is severe)

Why use distractionDoes not require advanced training for providers

Works with all developmental levels

Involves parents and caregivers during stressful times

Two Types of Distraction

Passive Distraction - attention redirected to a pleasurable stimulus or object

bull Storytelling

bull Showing a toy

Active Distraction - encourage participation in activities during procedure

bull Blowing bubbles

bull Playing a game

bull Interacting with electronic device

Can be used together or alone

breathe in the ldquocomfortrdquo color and breathe out ldquopainrdquo color OR ask

their body in that color Imagine shrinking fading or dispersing thepainful color or even sending it away in a balloon

Option 3- Symbolic imagery can be used in adults and adolescents If a
