Todd Sitzman MD ABSTRACT Although a significant number of interventional pain therapies are performed in office and fluoroscopy suite settings, the incidence of adverse events associated with these procedures is unknown. To minimize patient morbidity and physician liability, the preparation for and response to such events should follow a standardized protocol. This article provides a detailed protocol for responding to adverse events associated with interventional pain procedures performed in private office or fluoroscopy suite settings. The purposes of this protocol are to ensure quality patient care during and after an adverse event, to promote a better understanding of staff responsibilities at those times, to decrease the likelihood that an adverse event will become life-threatening, to suggest an appropriate format for the documentation of such events, and to reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of adverse events from a similar cause. Adherence to this protocol may also mitigate professional liability. [source] Pain Medicine 2008: Past, Present and FuturePAIN MEDICINE, Issue 3 2008Rollin M.

[source] DICHOTOMY OF CORTICAL PAIN PROCESSINGPAIN MEDICINE, Issue 2 2002Article first published online: 4 JUL 200 Jahangir Maleki, Rollin M. Gallagher, Pain Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, MCP/Hahnemann School of Medicine Introduction: Functional MRI and PET studies of cortical pain processing indicate segregated pain pathways above the thalamus. Although experimental pain may result in multiple areas of altered cortical activity, it is postulated that thalamic pain fibers known as the lateral system, projecting to sensory cortex, serve to localize pain, whereas medial pathways projecting to limbic cortex, process affective aspects of pain. Case Study: A 27 y/o female, with left upper extremity pain and severe allodynia from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Type I (CRPS I / RSD), after receiving intra-pleural bupivacaine blocks developed an ipsilateral focal-onset secondary generalized tonic clonic seizure. This was followed by one hour of post-ictal confusion. Simultaneously she developed a dense left-sided motor and sensory deficit (Todd's palsy) with a motor deficit resolving in one day whereas a sensory deficit lasted 2 days. Throughout the duration of the sensory deficit she denied any left arm pain, although she continued to report the same intensity of pain, but now localized to her epigastric region. Interestingly, despite the lack of sensory perception on the left side, palpation of her left arm resulted in increased epigastric pain and suffering. Discussion: This case indicates a bifurcation of the pain pathway between the thalamus and cortex. Due to focal seizure activity, the sensory cortex (i.e. lateral system) was transiently rendered dysfunctional, during which time the continued presence of pain and allodynia without appropriate localization likely resulted from pain conduction, from the thalamus to functional limbic structures such as Cingulum (i.e. via the medial fibre system). Conclusion: This case report strongly supports the hypothesis of medial and lateral pain conducting fibers branching at the level of thalamus with medial sub-serving the emotional aspects of pain by projection to limbic cortex, whereas lateral fibres project to sensory cortex, primarily serving a localizing function.

[source] Ethics in Managed Care and Pain MedicinePAIN MEDICINE, Issue 2 2001Jeffrey Livovich MD The responsibility for ethical behavior in medical care has been described historically as evolving through 3 stages: personal responsibility, professional group responsibility, and organizational responsibility. Together these 3 forms provide a system of accountability that works better than any one form alone. Today we have added a fourth stage, societal responsibility, in which oversight of managed care practices is maintained by external review organizations. Managed care organizations and their medical directors can work with physicians, professional societies and oversight organizations to develop a working healthcare system that protects the ethical rights of individual patients and populations of patients.

[source] Financing the Treatment of Chronic Pain: Models for Risk-sharing among Pain Medicine Physicians, Health Care Payers, and ConsumersPAIN MEDICINE, Issue 1 2000FABPM, Richard L. Stieg MD Chronic pain patients are among a growing group of medically underserved Americans. Despite increasing public awareness about pain and widespread legislative activity that is focusing on the needs of pain patients, there remain significant roadblocks in bringing the expertise of Pain Medicine specialists to these unfortunate people. This paper explores how the managed care revolution has impacted the practice of Pain Medicine in the United States. The dissolution of many prominent multi-disciplinary pain treatment centers has been paralleled by the evolution of pain management as an area of interest by several competing medical specialty societies. Despite this fragmentation, the American Academy of Pain Medicine continues to grow and to promote the needs of Pain Medicine specialists and their patients. The advantages and disadvantages of various practice patterns for Pain Medicine specialists is explored against a backdrop of discussions about: (1) the problems currently faced by chronic pain patients; (2) the role of organized Pain Medicine in helping patients to access and finance care; and (3) the future of American health care and the new responsibilities that will bring to physicians. Finally, we have some specific recommendations for pain medicine specialists about: (1) sharing risk; (2) exerting individual leadership; and (3) simplifying one's professional life in the new health care environment, that we hope will enable them to continue caring for as many chronic pain patients as possible. It is opined that the development of sophisticated regional specialty networks is the best model to accomplish this task in the future.
