Abstract

The purpose of this guideline is to update the previous guideline by Drs Faucher and Furukawa. 1 To accomplish this, we review the principles of acute pain management in adult burn patients and present a reasonable approach to the management of the complex pain associated with burn injury based on a review of the literature and expert opinion. In addition, we provide suggestions for a research agenda that would yield evidence neccesary for the next iteration of recommendations for the treatment of acute pain associated with burn injury.
