TitleEffectiveness of analgesia for disturb management in patients with Sickle Cell DiseaseIntroductionPatient X was a 29-year-old male patient with Sickle Cell Disease ( darmstadtium). Aside from the complications associated with darmstadtium such as opportunistic infections and vaso-occulsive episodes, which led to intense episodes of pain, he had no other co-morbidities. Patient X ran a family import business, which required keep going local and overseas travel. During the interview, Patient X repeatedly vocalized that the unpredictable invasion and the manifestations of its symptoms was interfering with his quality of life in terms of economic make up (loss of business opportunities) and sleep. During acute episodes of pain, depending on its severity, Patient X would either contact his local GP for a prescription of painkillers or present himself at the Emergency Department (ED) to seek relief from his pain.SCD affects individuals with sub-Saharan African, Caribbean and Med iterranean ancestry. With a prevalence rate of more than 100,000 people in the unify States alone and an incidence rate of 1 in 500 births among African-Americans, SCD is a major public health concern. (Givens et al. 2007, p. 239)Sickle Cell annoyance (SCP) is a common feature in patients with SCD. It is characterised by episodes of severe pain. As pain management is primarily pharmaceutical in nature, the use of analgesia is of polar importance in maintaining a patients quality of life. In SCP, the two major classes of analgesia used are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) and opioids. (See Table 1) First pop off accounts from Patient X during interview in addition to a writings review which ordain be discussed later in this article highlights major psychosocial and medi... ... ED clinician attitudes, practice patterns as well as low dependence rates in this population should be highlighted to allow intervention. Following this, initiatives to advance ED management of acute sickle cell disease pain could promote more efficient ways to manage SCD pain, rectify dissemination of national guidelines, and efforts to improve negative physician attitudes toward SCD patients. Because of the obscure nature of SCP, ideally there should be addd collaboration amidst front-line physicians such as the General practitioner and the Emergency Physician with contentedness matter specialists such as an Anaesthetist (to address acute and inveterate pain management issues) and Haematologist (to treat the underlying pathophysiology of SCD). This multidisciplinary approach will not only to decrease adverse outcomes, but also increase the patients quality of life.
