This Second Edition is a significant revision of the leading text and clinical reference on pediatric pain. Written by an international group of experts from all relevant disciplines, this book remains an indispensable source of guidance for all clinicians who treat pediatric patients with acute and chronic pain. This new edition is a vital reference for all pain practitioners, and for nurses, psychologists, PTs, anesthesiologists, and pediatricians dealing with pediatric pain.

This edition includes new and expanded information on NSAIDs, opioids, and regional anesthesia. New chapters cover sedation, pain in the ICU, multidisciplinary pain services, palliative care, and the long-term consequences of pain. User-friendly new features include many more illustrations of techniques.

“Addresses management of pain from a medical/surgical perspective, not just from a psychological point of view.”
