SCCM Resource Library-Smart Narcotic Pain Management: Coaching the Patient Through Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Professor Wendy Green discusses the importance of smart narcotic management and coaching patients through pain. She highlights that inadequate acute pain management after trauma can have various negative impacts, such as delaying return to work and increasing the risk of chronic pain development. Green explains that pain management has changed due to the opioid crisis, leading to a call to minimize opioid use. She suggests using multidimensional pain assessment tools and non-pharmacologic pain management strategies, such as music therapy, hypnosis, virtual reality, animal-assisted therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Green also mentions the potential of patient coaching to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in pain control.
