Abstract

Abstract

Based on the advancements in anesthesiology and pain medicine in recent years in addressing acute and chronic pain, this article expounds on the issues of pain and analgesia in burn clinical practice and provides systematic recommendations. It introduces knowledge related to neuropathic pain in burn patients, the risks and strategies of deep analgesia and sedation, as well as the respective advantages and disadvantages of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. Special emphasis is placed on the specificity of pain management in elderly and pediatric patients. A relatively specific implementation plan is proposed for the construction of a " pain-free burn unit," which is an important issue that benefits both patients and facilitates the development of the discipline.
