Preface
The inpatient pain consult service has become a crucial service in modern medicine and an essential service for the hospitalized patient. Hospitalized patients may experience pain related to acute and chronic conditions. These patients may simultaneously possess medical comorbidities that can significantly impact the utility or appropriateness of certain analgesic modalities. In addition, these patients may acutely present for hospitalized care with limited information available to align inpatient analgesic care with what is being provided in the outpatient setting. The impetus and intention of this book is to serve as a guide for different specialties providing care for patients suffering from pain in the inpatient setting. This book discusses the most common scenarios that complicate pain management for these patients including, but not limited to, patients with organ failure impacting metabolism and excretion of various medications, patients with implanted devices to treat pain, critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), patients with tolerance/addiction, patients with psychological conditions, and special populations as children, elderly, and prisoners. I would like to thank all
