VMP 890 - Pain Management Elective
1 credit hour(s)

Elective explores clinical pain and pain management with emphasis on typical veterinary clinical problems. Fundamentals of nociception and comparative algology will underlie the focus on clinical relief of pain. Nociceptive pain, procedural pain, postoperative pain, maladaptive pain, chronic pain, cancer pain, and related syndromes will be addressed. Case scenarios and practical examples will serve to reinforce the principles of pain management, including preemptive analgesia, balanced analgesia, and recognition of varying patient needs. Includes discussion of typical and atypical uses of the principle classes of analgesics, including NSAIDs, opioids, and local anesthetics, as well as adjunctive medications and non-drug methods for pain relief.

Grading Restriction: Satisfactory/No Credit grading only.
