Acute Pain and Nausea
Management Overview
• Assessment
• Therapeutic options
• Monitoring/management
Pain Assessment
• History of past pain medication use as well
as history of recreational or substance
abuse activity, including alcohol.
• List of current medications (RX and OTC)
and supplements (herbal, nutritional,
homeopathic, etc)
• Allergy/sensitivity History
Pain Assessment
• Location – find all locations and intensity
at each. Get an overall pain score.
• Character – sharp, dull, aching, constant,
intermittent, burning, etc.
• Frequency and pattern.
• Severity.
• Has it changed or what makes it
better/worse?
• Known etiology?
Pain Assessment
• What have they tried (pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic) and what were the results?
– Therapy, dose, duration, how results were evaluated.
• What are the patient’s expectations/goals?
• Initial evaluation and follow-up must be done a
bedside
• Follow-up over time – is a change new pain as
opposed to not enough drug?

Analgesic Therapeutics
• Start at “normal dose”
• Base frequency on severity of pain, patient
tolerance, pharmacokinetics
• If chronic analgesics minimum of 25-30%
of chronic dose for breakthrough to
achieve efficacy
• Titrate to therapeutic dose and lengthen
interval as analgesia occurs
• Consider adjuvants and co-analgesics
Duration of Therapy
• Based upon etiology …the expected
duration of pain will vary
– Somatic, abdominal, neuropathic
• Fixed pain course?
• Acute pain – Subsides over an “expected”
period of time
• Acute exacerbation of chronic pain
– Return to baseline or titrate to new baseline
Renal and Hepatically Impaired
Patient
• Choose agent with fewest active
metabolites
• Dose to effect than titrate slowly at
increased intervals
• Agents of choice - hydromorphone,
oxycodone, and fentanyl
• Contraindicated agents – meperidine,
propoxyphene
The Opioid Naive
• Assess type and duration of pain
• Analgesic doses used thus far and
response/side effects
• PCA OK, but no basal
• Frequent reassessment
• Most at risk: small, elderly, organ
compromised
Opioid Tolerant
•
•
•
•
Chronic pain patient
Recreational user
Figure 24 hour usage
Base rescue dosing at 10% of 24 hour use
or 25-30% of incremental dose at the
normal interval
• Assess bowel function
PCA Guide
• Initial basal may be used to replace chronic
dosing otherwise leave off during initial
assessment period
• Breakthrough frequency generally 6, 10, or 15
minutes
• Choices – Morphine 1 mg = hydromorphone 0.2
mg = fentanyl 10 mcg
• Give range to allow titration for more effective
dosing
• Naloxone part of protocol orders
PCA Safety Issues
• PCA by proxy
• Patient education
– For appropriate analgesia
– To prevent oversedation
– Videogame thumb
• Monitoring
– Pain, alertness, vitals Q 4H-rate/quality of respirations
first 24-48 hours.
• Product selection
Adjuvants/Coanalgesics
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Laxatives
NSAIDs
Anti-anxiety
Antiemetics
Hypnotics
Muscle relaxants
Local anesthetics
Consider additive side effects and potential to
exacerbate co-morbidities
Opioid Side Effects
• Respiratory depression – titration rate based
on analgesic need, reduce dose if cause of
pain relieved. Rare after 3-4 days.
• Constipation
• Itching – Antihistamines or change agent.
True allergy rare
• Nausea – Antiemetics, take with food, change
agent or route
• Hallucinations – Change agent or route
• Sedation – Rule out other causes, change
agent, add stimulant
• Urinary retention – Change agent or add

Assessment of N/V
•
•

•
GI status – Obstructed or not
Frequency – nausea/emesis
Volume – emesis and contents
Timing – Proximate cause, worse in
AM/PM?
• Hydration status?
Assessment
• Associated Factors
– Undigested food
– Neurologic signs/headache
– Electrolyte abnormalities
– New medications (include OTC, supplements,
etc)
– Therapy – drugs, radiation, chemo,
– Phobias, anxieties, anticipatory habits
– Patient expectations

• Disease related
– Gastric irritation/obstruction, constipation,
electrolyte/metabolic factors, increased
intracranial pressure, vestibular disturbances
• Psychological Factors
– Anxiety, fears, phobias, sights, odors
Therapy/Drug Selection Issues
• Drug affinity for probable cause (receptors,
pharmacodynamics, etc)
• Available routes of administration
• Side effect profile
• Patient Contraindications
• Treat underlying condition if possible
Major “Antiemetic”
Drug Classes
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Neurokinin 1 antagonists (NK1a)
Substituted benzamides (metoclopramide)
Steroids
Benzodiazepines (BZ)

Is Droperidol Evil?
• 03/01 UK’s Medicine Control Agency reviews
QT issues and Janssen Dc’s Droleptan® and
injectable droperidol after risk benefit
assessment
• FDA reviews drug and receives 273 reports
for 11/97-12/01 with many being duplicates
• Majority of events occurred at doses > 10 mg
• 10 deaths, 18 cardiac arrests, 6 cases of QTc
prolongation and 3 of torsades de pointes
reported at doses < 2.5mg in 30 years
• 10 Serious case reports at doses < 1.25 mg,
none of which showed a causal relationship
Horowitz BZ, et al Academy of Emergency Medicine 2002;9(6);615-8
Droperidol Effects
• Normal QTc is 440 msec males and 450
msec females
• Prolonging QTc more than 500 msec or 60
msec increases the risk for dysrhythmia
• QT prolongation  fatal arrhythmia/ cardiac
arrest
• 0.1, 0.175, and 0.25 mg/kg doses equivalent
in a 70 kg adult to 7, 12.25, and 17.5 mg
caused a 37, 44, and 59 msec QTc
prolongation respectively.
• Before 2001 warning for doses > 25 mg
causing sudden death if at risk for cardiac
dysrythmias
Lischke V, et al Anesthesia and Analgesia 1994;79:983-6
Droperidol May be evil …
However
• Droperidol is associated with QTc prolongation
• This temporal and dose dependent association
has not been proven to be related to torsades de
pointes in any type of randomized or controlled
setting
• Case reports suggest that rare cardiac events
may be associated with droperidol
administration but none are causally associated
with it’s use
• Analogous situations exist with other
medications including haloperidol,
cyclobenzaprine, and 5HT3 antagonists
Droperidol Recommendations
• Ongoing safety monitoring should occur
• Avoid use with other agents which prolong the
QT interval, change target drug metabolism, or
in patients with known cardiac dysrhythmias
• Consider ECG monitoring if elevated doses are
required or use is indicated in a patient with
known risk factors
• Use the minimum effective dose
• Consider alternative agents if doses > 5mg are
indicated
