Battlefield pain summit 2022: Expert consensus statements.
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery 2022 August 2
BACKGROUND: Battlefield pain occurs in combat casualties who experience multiple severe injuries. The nature of battlefield scenarios requires a distinct approach to battlefield pain research. A battlefield pain summit was thus convened to identify shortcomings in the current understanding of battlefield pain management, review the current state of battlefield pain research, and shape the direction of future research.
METHODS: On January 10 to 11, 2022, a hybrid in-person and virtual meeting hosted by the US Army Institute of Surgical Research defined research priorities for the Combat Casualty Care Research Program's Battlefield Pain research portfolio. Summit participants identified the following key focus areas under the umbrella of battlefield pain research: battlefield injury patterns; use of ketamine and nonopioid analgesics; analgesic delivery systems; the impact of analgesia on performance, cognition, and survival; training methods; battlefield regional anesthesia; and research models. Preliminary statements presented during the summit were refined and rank ordered through a Delphi process.
RESULTS: Consensus was achieved on 7 statements addressing ideal analgesic properties, delivery systems, operational performance concerns, and pain training. Ketamine was identified as safe and effective for battlefield use, and further research into nonopioid analgesics represented a high priority.
CONCLUSION: The 7 consensus statements that emerged from this battlefield pain summit serve as a template to define the near-term research priorities for military-specific battlefield pain research.
