The prevalence of pain in the emergency department is estimated between 60% and 78%. However, many studies reported oligo analgesia in about half of patient admitted to the emergency department. The delay before effective analgesia is one of the main causes of oligoanalgesia. The use of nurse-directed protocol allows the administration of analgesic upon admission to the emergency department. Nevertheless the need of intravenous access may delay analgesia. The use of oral form analgesics even with immediate release does not allow effective analgesia before 20 min. Pain management protocol in the emergency reception desk of CHU Grenoble Alpes (CHUGA) includes paracetamol that can be combined with oxycodone tablets depending on the pain intensity. For any mono traumatized it is possible to associate self-administer methoxyflurane inhaler. The pain management protocol is already used in the emergency reception desk of CHU Grenoble Alpes.The different analgesics( paracetamol,oral oxycodone, methoxyflurane) are already administered as part of routine care.The use of these different analgesics means would allow a rapid and adapted effectiveness to the pain intensity. However, there are no data on the efficacy and acceptability of such an early multimodal analgesia protocol in the emergency department.

This study aims to exploratively assess the efficacy and safety of hydrophilic polyurethane foam dressing (MedifoamⓇ or BetafoamⓇ) in pressure ulcer specifically. The target enrolment is 20 patients, with 10 patients per arm.

This study is planned to investigate the pain control status in cancer patients in 6 South East Asian countries through evaluation of prescription pattern of analgesics, satisfaction of pain control, quality of life and assessment of the adequacy of pain control and relationship among these factors in cancer patients with pain. Cancer pain is undermanaged and it is hoped that this study will be used as a reference for effective cancer pain management in these countries.
