The 5-Minute Pain Management Consult

Book Description

This new addition to The 5-Minute Consult Series is a clinically
oriented quick-consult reference for pain management. More than 150
conditions associated with pain and concomitant mental health
diagnoses are thoroughly and concisely presented in the famous fast-
access 5-Minute Consult format. Each entry briefly describes the
condition and presents succinct, bulleted facts under boldface
headings: basics (epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology,
etiology, prevention, associated conditions); diagnosis (signs and
symptoms, history, physical exam, lab tests, imaging, differential
diagnosis); treatment (medications, surgery); and follow-up
(prognosis, issues for referral). Each entry includes ICD9-CM and CPT
codes. Two Tables of Contents--one alphabetical and one organized by
organ system--allow quick look-up of topics.
