The second edition of Acute Pain Management: Scientific Evidence provides a clear, evidence-based, and clinically useful guide for practitioners managing acute pain.
The second edition of Acute Pain Management: Scientific Evidence is a must read for all pain medicine physicians and other practitioners in an outpatient clinic or hospital setting. The authors make a clear exposition of the practical application of evidence-based approaches to the management of acute pain. The reader is not submerged in a welter of detail but is presented with sufficient data to confront acute pain management problems with confidence. Reading straight through one discovers that the information contained in this document accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to be an authoritative aid to those who practice and think about acute pain management. In not only providing relevant information but inviting itself to be read, it easily passes the test of clinical utility. I believe we are indebted to the authors who have clearly defined the state of the art in the management of acute pain.
