About

This article describes how giving pain medicine to injured children before they reach the hospital can affect their care in the emergency department. The study looks at whether early pain management helps children feel better and if it changes how doctors treat them later. It also checks if there are any problems or delays caused by giving medicine before arriving at the hospital. Overall, it shows that treating pain early may help improve care for injured kids when they get to the emergency room.
