Abstract

Pain scales are a vital asset in identifying pain levels, intensity and duration, especially for the paediatric population, as they might not be able to properly verbalise their pain, and hence targeted pain management won’t happen. Various paediatric pain scales for paediatrics are FLACC, Wong’s Baker Faces Pain Scale, Comfort Scale, and Poker Chip Tool, & for newborns – NIPS, CRIEScan be followed. Pain scale also helps us to identify pain characteristics like throbbing pain, stabbing pain, etc. Pain scales will provide the pain level data on admission & during the course of the patient’s stay, & by doing assessment & re-assessment using the pain scale, we will come to know the effectiveness of the treatment. Hence knowledge, skills & usage of the paediatric pain scale is the need of the hour, and hence nurses need to be trained & equipped to follow the pain scale in their paediatric patients for providing prompt care in pain management.
