Episode 004 - Pre-Hospital Pain Management with Dr. Parkolap

Being able to provide pain management to your patients, is an essential part of pre-hospital medicine. Although, there is a balance to maintain between reducing a patient's pain level and reducing the patient's mentation, making continued care in the ED difficult. On this Episode, I talk to Dr. Parkolap, ER Medical Director at Westside Regional Hospital and Medical Director for Plantation Fire Department about the important considerations involved in pre-hospital pain management, the outcome goals, and the agents he recommends and why. Hope you enjoy our discussion.
