The assessment and management of pain in children is not always easy and it is clearly more difficult in the critical care setting. Pain management is further complicated in this vulnerable population by the nature of their critical condition, the complexity and multidimensionality of their illness or injuries, and the intensity of emotions in this environment. A variety of pain syndromes are encountered in the pediatric intensive care unit, and the staff there may not be familiar with or comfortable managing these cases. Pain assessment and treatment can be more appropriately managed when guided by the experts of a multidisciplinary pediatric pain service.
儿童疼痛的评估与管理并非总是易事，在重症监护环境中显然更是困难重重。对于这群脆弱的患者，因其危急病情的性质、疾病或损伤的复杂性与多维度性以及该环境中强烈的情绪因素，疼痛管理变得更加复杂。儿科重症监护病房会遇到各种各样的疼痛综合征，那里的工作人员可能并不熟悉或不擅长处理这些病例。在多学科儿科疼痛服务专家的指导下，疼痛评估和治疗能够得到更妥善的管理。
