Pain Management in Older Adults in the Emergency Department

With Sergey Motov, MD

Dr. Sergey Motov sits down with Dr. Christina Shenvi to discuss how EDs can fall short in recognizing and properly managing pain in older adults. They answer the questions: How do older adults present atypically with pain? Are we spending enough time assessing their discomfort? And when we do, how can we be sure to prescribe effective pain management while taking into account pharmacological interactions and age-related physiological changes?
