Part 5:
Pediatric Pain Management staff education

Top 10 things you need to know about pediatric pain management:

  1. Infants do have PAIN.

  2. If a child is lying still, pain may be present. Children may not always be willing or able to communicate the fact that they are in pain.

  3. When there is pain, there may be nausea. Treat both.

  4. Don't UNDERMEDICATE. Children often require more pain medication than adults (in milligrams/ kilogram) do to achieve pain control. Repeat patients usually need more medication to attain the same degree of pain relief.

  5. Incorporate the family into the child's care, since family insights are very helpful at all ages and developmental stages.

  6. When assessing the effect of pain medications, remember to consider the patient's normal routine. If it's naptime the child may not arouse easily. Pain medication may not be the problem.

  7. Titrate pain medication in increments is when possible. Monitor respiratory status if narcotics are being used.

  8. Always consider other reasons for patient discomfort besides pain. Is the child wet or hungry? Does she want her parents? Does he need to be burped?

  9. Communicate at the child's level when assessing pain and response to pain, remembering that many children regress when in pain.

  10. Seek other pediatric personnel as consultants whenever necessary.

Barriers to Effective Pain Management

Provider Barriers
(Pain Management in Children with Cancer, Texas Cancer Center, 1999)

MYTH: Young Infants do not feel pain. Children’s nervous systems are immature and are unable to perceive and experience pain the way adults do. (Texas Cancer Council, 1999)

FACT: The Central nervous system of a 26 week old fetus possess the anatomical and neurochemical capabilities of experiencing nociception (Anand, 1998)

MYTH: Children easily become addicted to narcotics.

FACT: Less than 1% of children treated with opioids (Narcotics) develop addiction. (Foley, 1996)

MYTH: Children tolerate pain better than adults.

FACT: Younger children experience higher levels of pain during procedures than older children. Children’s tolerance for pain increases with age. (Bromme, Rehwalt and Fogg, 1998; Broome and others 1990)

MYTH: Children are unable to tell you where they hurt.

FACT: Children may not be able to express their pain in the same manner as adults. Children are able to point to eh body area where they are experiencing pain or draw a picture illustrating their perception of pain.

MYTH: Children become accustomed to pain or painful procedures.

FACT: Children exposed to repeated painful procedures often experience increasing anxiety and perception of pain with repeated procedures (Zeltzer, 1990).

MYTH: Children will tell you when they are experiencing pain.

FACT: Children may not report pain due to fear of administration of a painful analgesic (injection) or fear of returning to the hospital. Children who have experienced chronic pain may not be aware that they are experiencing pain. Young children may not have adequate communication skills or others may not think it is necessary to tell health professionals about the pain (Favaloro and Touzel, 1990).

MYTH: Children’s behaviors reflect their pain intensity.

FACT: Children are unique in their ways of coping. Children’s behavior is not a specific indication of their pain level (Beyer, McGrath and Berde, 1990).

Basic Concepts of Pain Management

  1. The child is the authority on his own pain.
  2. It is very important to know and recognize the child’s physiological, psychological, and emotional responses to pain when developing a pain management plan. Without addressing these important issues, it is often difficult to develop an adequate pain treatment plan.

    Changes in vital signs do not occur with all children who are experiencing severe pain. Do not rely on vital signs to determine the severity of a childs’s pain.

    Children with pain, even severe pain, can be distracted from thinking about their pain, and may even be able to sleep. Don’t trust that a patient isn’t having pain because he "looks comfortable." Always ask, and believe the patient’s assessment of his own pain.

  3. The child has the right to expect a rapid and effective response to a complaint of pain.
  4. Treat the pain, reassess frequently, and continue to treat until the patient is comfortable or side effects prevent further treatment. If this occurs, consult a pain expert- don’t leave a patient in pain without a treatment plan.

  5. A history and physical examination of the pain is very helpful. Details of the pain’s location, duration, radiation, and character often provide valuable clues about how to treat the pain most effectively.

  6. Medications are best given orally for long-term management of pain. For short-term management, like postoperative pain, the IV route is preferred (especially with severe pain).

  7. Most pain medications have side effects. Effective pain relief is often accompanied by at least some of these side effects. Be prepared to treat the side effects of opioids if they occur (e.g., nausea or itching).

  8. A balanced approach to pain management combines nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic therapy, and frequently utilizes multiple analgesics which work by different mechanisms.

Patients with chronic pain are usually on a specific regimen of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapy. This regimen must be continued during their hospitalization. Superimposed acute pain (e.g. acute postoperative pain) should be treated with additional opioids (narcotics).

Assessment and Documentation

Pain Assessment

A physician, nurse, and/or other health care professional will identify the presence of pain for each patient encounter at UMHHC. If pain is present, its intensity is scored, typically using a standardized 0 to 10 scale. (See "pain scales" below). Pain scores are documented in writing, just like vital signs, making them readily available to all members of the health care team. The American Pain Society actually suggests that pain should be thought of as the 5th vital sign.

In the hospital setting, the patient’s pain is assessed at least as often as vital signs are taken, because ongoing assessment is necessary to evaluate changes in pain and the effectiveness of its treatment. Pain should be assessed at intervals appropriate to the severity of pain and the patient’s situation. For many patients, this will mean assessment of pain every 4 hours, but the time between assessments must be individualized to the patient’s need.

In the ambulatory care setting, pain assessment should be completed with every new episode of care. Repeated visits or contacts for the same problem may not require repeated pain assessments (unless a current pain problem is being followed).

Pediatric Pain assessment should be appropriate to the developmental level. All pediatric patients should be assessed for pain. Pain can be communicated by words, expressions, and behavior (crying, guarding a body part, grimacing).

Using the QUEST Principles of pain assessment (Baker and Wong, 1987) may be helpful in assessing pediatric pain.

Question the child.
Use pain rating scales.
Evaluate behavior and physiological changes.
Secure parent’s involvement.
Take cause of pain into account.
Take action and evaluate results.

Neonates:

Situations that are painful for older children and adults can be expected to be painful for babies. Neonates that are ill may not be able to cry.

Signs Of Acute Pain

Signs of Chronic Pain

Crying and moaning

Apathy

Muscle rigidity

Irritability

Flexion or flailing of the extremities

Changes in sleeping and eating patterns

Diaphoresis

A lack of interest in their surroundings

Irritability

Guarding

Changes in vital signs, and pupillary dilatation

Older Children:

Children less than 3 years old or unable to communicate, clinicians should use the FLACC scale.

Children over 3 may use the Faces scale.

Children over 5 may be able to use descriptor words (stinging, burning).

Children over 6, who understand the concepts of rank and order, can use numerical scale, color scale, and word scale.

Factors Influencing Pain Ratings:

Because each child may regress when they are in pain, it is important to use whatever tool that they are able to understand.

Children often deny pain because they fear consequences (e.g., physical exam or injection) if they admit to having pain.

Young children may not understand the relationship between pain assessment, treatment and the relief of pain.

Observation of a child's behavior is helpful in the evaluation of pain. Including the patient's family or guardian may help in the assessment of pain. Observation of a child's behavior is the only way to assess a non-communicative child.

Pain Scales

Scales should be developmentally, physically, emotionally and cognitively appropriate for the given patient.

Suggested standardized tools with 0 to 10 scoring are listed below. Other scales may be adopted for specific UMHHC units.

    • Numeric rating scale
    • Color scale
    • Word graphic scale
    • Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (3 years of age and older
    • FLACC (ages 3 months to 7 years)
    • N-Pass - Holden

(See the instructions and illustrations that follow.)

Numeric Rating Scale

Ask the patient to rate their pain intensity on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (the worst pain imaginable). Some patients are unable to do this with only verbal instructions, but may be able to look at a number scale and point to the number that describes the intensity of their pain.

Color Scale

This scale is a colored stripe in which color gradually changes from white (no pain) through shades of pink to dark red (worst possible pain). Ask the patient to point to the area on the scale that shows their level of pain. To obtain a number for documentation use the scale parallel to the color stripe to find the number corresponding to the area where the patient points.

 

Word Graphic Scale

This scale can be used with patient as young as 6 years of age. It uses a line with words to describe pain intensity from "no pain" to "worst possible pain". Show and explain the scale to the patient and then ask him or her to point (or mark) anywhere along the line that shows how much pain they have. To find a number for documentation count the black dots, starting with zero at the far left, to the area where the patient points, up to ten at the far right.

Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale

From Wong DL, Hockenberry-Eaton M, Wilson D, Winkelstein ML, Ahmann E, DiVito-Thomas PA: Whaley and Wong’s Nursing Care of Infants and Children, ed. 6, St. Louis, 1999, Mosby, p. 1153.

This scale can be used with young children (sometimes as young as 3 years of age). It also works well for many older children and adults as well as for those who speak a different language. Explain that each face represents a person who may have no pain, some pain, or as much pain as imaginable. Point to the appropriate face and say:

(0) "This face is happy and does not hurt at all."

(2) "This face hurts just a little bit."

(4) "This face hurts a little more."

(6) "This face hurts even more."

(8) "This face hurts a whole lot."

(10) "This face hurts as much as you can imagine, but you don’t have to be crying to feel this bad."

Ask the patient to choose the face that best matches how she or he feels or how much they hurt.

FLACC Scale

This is a behavior scale that has been tested with children age 3 months to 7 years. Each of the five categories (Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) is scored from 0-2 and the scores are added to get a total from 0-10. Behavioral pain scores need to be considered within the context of the child's psychological status, anxiety and other environment factors.

0
No particular expression or smile

1
Occasional grimace or frown, withdrawn disinterested

2
Frequent to constant frown, clenched jaw, quivering chin

Legs

N-Pass tool used in Holden Neonatal Unit

This is a new tool specifically for neonates by Pat Hummel and Mary Puchalski of Loyola University being used with permission. It uses a combination score of assessment criteria that includes crying/irritability, behavior state, facial expression, extremities tone, and vital signs. The tool and scoring criteria are below.

Pain Documentation

Pain assessment results can be charted in a variety of places:

Inpatient:

    1. 24 hour flow sheet
      Place pain score below the charting area for vital signs. Updates can be entered every hour. (See sample)





      On the reverse side of the flow sheet is an area labeled "cognitive/perceptual" or "rest and comfort". (See sample) This charting space allows documentation of pain score, comfort level AND patient satisfaction with their current level of pain. Any additional information can be noted in the "other" section at the bottom of this page.



    2. Analgesia flow sheet
      When a PCA or Epidural is being utilized, pain scores can be documented here.

    3. Progress notes and discharge summary
      The note may indicate th eintensity and characteristics of the patient's pain, along with current treatment and future pain plan.

Classification of Pain by Inferred Pathology

Two Major types of Pain

I Nociceptive Pain

a. Somatic Pain
b. Visceral Pai

II Neuropathic Pain

a. Centrally Generated Pain
b. Peripherally Generated Pain

Nociceptive Pain: Normal processing of stimuli that damages normal tissues or has the potential to do so if prolonged; usually responsive to nonopioids and/ or opioids.

A. Somatic Pain: Arises from bone, joint, muscle, skin or connective tissue. It is usually aching or throbbing in quality and is well localized.

B. Visceral Pain: Arises from visceral organs, such as the GI tract and pancrease. This may be subdivided:

1. Tumor involvement of the organ capsule that causes aching and fairly well-localized pain.

2. Obstruction of hollow viscus, which causes intermittent cramping and poorly localized pain.

Neuropathic Pain: Abnormal processing of sensory input by the peripheral or central nervous system; treatment usually includes adjuvant analgesics.

A. Centrally Generated Pain

1. Deafferentation pain. Injury to either the peripheral or centeral nervous system. Examples: Phantom pain may reflect injury to the peripheral nervous system; burning pain below the level of a spinal cord lesion reflects injury to the central nervous system.

2. Sympathetically maintained pain. Assoicated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. Examples: May include some of the pain associated with reflex sympathetic dystrophy/causalgia (complex regional pain syndrome, Type I, Type II)

B. Peripherally Generated Pain

1. Painful polyneuropathies. Pain is felt along the distribution of many peripheral nerves. Examples: Diabetic neuropathy, alcohol-nutritional neuropathy, and those associated with Guillain-Barre' syndrome.

2. Painful neuropathies. Usually associated with a known peripheral nerve injury, and pain is felt at least partly along the distribution of the damaged nerve. Examples: nerve root compression, nerve entrapment, trigeminal neuralgia.

Basic Pharmacologic Pain Managment Princples

  1. Oral or intravenous administration of pain medication is the preferred method. Most children would rather have pain than an intramuscular injection. Avoid IM injections.
  1. Base the initial choice of analgesic on the severity and type of pain:

Pain Severity

Analgesic Choice

Examples

Mild (pain score 1-3)

Acetaminophen, Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents

Tylenol® , ibuprofen (Motrin® ), naproxen (Naprosyn® )

Moderate (pain score 4-6)

IV Ketorolac, oral acetaminophen/opioid combinations

Toradol® , Vicodin® , Tylox® , Tylenol® with codeine #3

Severe (pain score 7-10)

Opioid

Morphine, hydromorphone (Dilaudid® ), fentanyl

  1. IV opioids Morphine can be safely titrated to effect in the pediatric setting.

  2. Use Meperidine with caution. Meperidine should not be used in patiens with decreased renal function.

  3. PCA or NCA are acceptable methods of administering pain medications. Patients and families should be educated on PCA delivered medication. Parents should be instructed never to push the PCA button when the child is asleep.

a IM:PO ratio is 1:6 (1mg IM = 6mg po) with single or intermittent dosing. With chronic dosing, the ratio changes to 1:3 (1mg IM = 3mg PO).

b Not recommended for pain management. Keep doses under 600mg/day and do not use for > 48 hours.

c Most preparations contain either 15, 30 or 60mg of codeine with 300mg acetaminophen. Do not exceed 75mg/kg/day or 2.6 grams/day in children under 12 years of age. Do not exceed 4 grams/day of acetaminophen in children > 12 years of age.

d Preparations contain either 5, 7.5 or 10mg of hydrocodone in combination with acetaminophen (500, 650 or 750mg). Do not exceed 75mg/kg/day or 2.6 grams/day in children under 12 years of age. Do not exceed 4 grams/day of acetaminophen in children > 12 years of age.

e Preparations contain 5mg oxycodone in combination with acetaminophen (325 or 500mg). Do not exceed 75mg/kg/day or 2.6 grams/day in children under 12 years of age. Do not exceed 4 grams/day of acetaminophen in children > 12 years of age.

f Methadone is much more potent than previously described in the literature and it accumulates with repeated dosing. A highly individual and cautious approach when switching from another potent opioid must be taken. Please consult the Acute Pain Service.

Equianalgesic Dose Conversion Formula ***

Dose for current drug
(from equianalgesic chart)
= 24-hour dose of current drug
(scheduled and rescue doses)
   
Dose for new drug
(from equianalgesic chart)
= 24-hour dose of new drug
   

* ** This table is 1/10 of the value of the equianalgesic doses for adults. These are NOT suggested starting doses; these are doses of opioids that produce approximately the same amount of analgesia. Published trials vary in the suggested doses that are equianalgesic to morphine. By using this table, you can determine a dose of a new opioid and/or route of administration that is approximately equal in analgesic effect to the dose of the former opioid. Titration to clinical response is necessary. Recommended doses do not apply to patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency or other conditions affecting drug metabolism and kinetics.

Preventing and Managing Common Opioid Side Effects

The use of opioids is associated with the occurrence of drug side effects, which become more common as doses of opioids are increased to treat severe pain. These side effects include nausea and vomiting, constipation, pruritus (itching), mental confusion, sedation, respiratory depression and hypersensitivity reactions. Proper use of opioids includes management of these side effects, rather than discontinuation of opioids in a patient with severe pain.

1. Nausea and Vomiting

  • If analgesia is satisfactory, reduce opioid dose by 10 %- 25%
  • Add or increase nonopioid or nonsedating adjuvant for additional pain relief so that the opioid dose can be reduced.
  • Ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg IV or metoclopramide 0.1 - 0.2 mg/kg IV or droperidol 0.03- 0.075 mg/kg IV.

2. Constipation

  • Begin all patients on ATC opioids with one of the combined pediatric stool softener and mild peristaltic stimulants (start postoperative patients as soon as permissible).

3. Pruritus

  • If analgesia is satisfactory, reduce opioid by 10% - 25%.
  • Add or increase nonopioid or nonsedating adjuvant for additional pain relief so that the opioid dose can be reduced.
  • Diphenhydramine 1 mg/kg IV or butorphanol 0.03 - 0.05 mg/kg IV.
  • Naloxone 0.5 mg/kg/h by IV infusion only after steps 1 - 3 have failed.

4. Sedation

  • Determine whether sedation is due to the opioid. It is most likely due to the opioid if opioid therapy has just started or if there has been a recent increase in dose.
  • Eliminate nonessential CNS depressant medications.
  • If analgesia is satisfactory, reduce opioid dose by 10%-25%.
  • Add or increase nonopioid or nonsedating adjuvant for for additional pain relief so that the opioid dose can be reduced.
  • Add simple stimulants during the day, e.g., caffeine.
  • Consider giving a lower opioid dose more frequently to decrease peak concentration.
  • If analgesia is unsatisfactory or dose reduction is not viable, consider adding a psychostimulant, e.g., methylphenidate (Ritalin) or pemoline (Cylert).
  • If excessive sedation persists, consider:
    • Switch to another opioid.
    • Switch to an intraspinal route
    • Use of an anesthetic or neurosurgical technique to allow drug reduction.

Non-Pharmacologic Approaches to Pain

  • Although analgesics are the mainstay of pain relief, most pain is best treated with a combination of drug (analgesic) and non-drug approaches.
  • Non-drug approaches to pain management can enhance comfort, promote sleep and enhance the quality of life.
  1. Non-pharmacologic interventions should routinely be used. Although these strategies alone are frequently insufficient for moderate to severe pain, they are usually helpful in conjunction with pharmacological therapy. Such strategies may include:

    Cognitive-behavioral
    Education
    Relaxation, imagery
    Psychotherapy, counseling
    Hypnosis
    Biofeedback
    Music, literature, art, play
    Prayer, meditation

    Physical
    Massage
    Acupuncture, acupressure
    Application of heat or cold
    TENS
    Immobilization, graded mobilization
    Therapeutic exercise

    Nonpharmacologic interventions may be provided, based on training, by:
    Physicians
    Nurses
    Physical, occupational, recreation, art, music, child-life or other therapists
    Social workers
    Religious or spiritual leaders
    Clinical psychologists
    Others

    Addiction, Physical Dependence and Tolerance

    Addiction to narcotics is rare (less than 1% of patients) and usually occurs inpatients with a prior history of substance abuse. Addiction is defined as the continued use of a specific psychoactive substance despite physical, psychological or social harm.

    Physical dependence differs from addiction. Patients taking opioids on a chronic basis develop a physical dependence, and experience withdrawal symptoms during sudden abstinence from the drug. Addiction is primarily a psychological problem; dependence is a physical response to continued use of narcotics.

    Tolerance is the need for higher opioid doses to maintain a constant effect. While this is a poorly understood phenomenon, most patients on chronic opioids do not experience tolerance. Alternative explanations, such as a new source of pain or progression of an existing lesion (especially a neoplasm), should be considered when tolerance occurs.

    Addiction is a maladaptive behavior pattern, where the need to take a drug interferes with other life activities. The individual is preoccupied with a continuing drug supply, despite deterioration of family, work, and other social relationships. Addiction should be suspected if concurrent use of alcohol or illicit drugs, frequent visits to the ER seeking additional medications, forging or losing prescriptions, repeated noncompliance with medication regimens, and/or the unwillingness to discuss changes in pain medication are present. These are difficult patients to deal with and often psychiatry or chronic pain consultation is helpful.

    Use of opioids inpatients with a history of substance abuse is occasionally necessary. In these cases, a treatment contract should be utilized. This typically sets out basic terms, such as the single physician who will prescribe medication, the medication schedule that the patient is expected to adhere to, and the conditions which will lead to discontinuation of narcotic therapy.

    Pseudoaddiciton must be differentiated from true addiction. Patients experiencing continued pain will exhibit anxiety and drug-seeking behavior. These behaviors typically disappear once the pain is relieved. This pseudoaddictive behavior is extinguished by adequate pain relief, unlike the continued drug-seeking behavior of true addiction.
