In patients who are able to communicate or use a PCA, continuous opioid infusions increase the risk of respiratory depression. Nevertheless, they have a role in young children and intubated patients, typically in the form of a fentanyl infusion.
Methadone also plays a unique role in burn care. In addition to long-acting mu-receptor agonism, it causes N-methyl- D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonism and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition [18]. It can be prescribed up to four times daily for pain, with starting doses of 5–10 mg. It is especially useful for non-opioid naïve patients. It is important to monitor the QTc in patients on methadone, with a QTc over 500 ms necessitating a dose reduction. Buprenorphine, a partial mu-agonist, can also play a role in burn patients with opioid use disorders.
Regardless of the opioid chosen, side effects include pruritus, nausea, vomiting, constipation, respiratory depression, opioid induced hyperalgesia, along with tolerance and addiction. It is therefore important to provide multimodal analgesia and reduce opioid dosing as soon as tolerated.
Ketamine
Ketamine, either in high doses for procedures or in low-dose infusions for background pain, is a useful adjunct for burn pain management. It is an NMDA receptor antagonist that functions synergistically with opioids. Analgesic infusions range from 1 to 3mcg/kg/min with negligible adverse effects. Dosing for procedures is associated with unpleasant halluci­nations although this can be mitigated with coadministration of benzodiazepines [18].
Lidocaine
Topical and IV lidocaine are adjunct options that can be offered to burn patients. For small burns, topical lidocaine can be effective, though systemic toxicity becomes a concern for larger burns [24]. IV lidocaine can be used for background or

procedural pain, albeit with limited evidence [25]. Dosing at 1mg/kg/h for up to 48h has been used safely at our institu­tion in patients without hepatic compromise. The primary adverse effect is nausea.
323
Anxiolytics
Anxiolytics for burns includes benzodiazepines and hydroxyzine. Benzodiazepines are the standard for anxiolysis and amnesia for painful procedures, but they are associated with respiratory depression, delirium, tolerance, and addiction. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine, FDA approved for anxiety. With a reduced side-effect profile compared to benzodiaze­pines, it can be used for background anxiety symptoms, typi­cally at 25–50mg every 6h as needed.
Anesthetics
For particularly painful procedures and operations, monitored anesthesia care (MAC) or general anesthesia will be necessary. However, inhaled nitrous oxide has been used by non­anesthesia personnel. It is typically inhaled via a mask held by the patient in a 50:50 mixture with oxygen. It can be used for procedures, but it is associated with nausea, dysphoria, spontaneous abortion, and bone marrow suppression [24].
Regional Anesthesia
Regional anesthesia involves placing local anesthetic near specific nerves in order to anesthetize a large area of the body. The nerves that are targeted can be central, near to the spinal cord, or peripheral. Regional anesthesia can be used as the sole anesthetic for surgery, as a supplement to general anesthesia for surgery, or for analgesia of the targeted area of the body. Its use for perioperative pain is well-established and has been shown to reliably improve early quality of pain

relief, reduce the need for opioid medication, and improve patient satisfaction [26].
Regional anesthesia can involve a single injection of local anesthetic (“single shot block”) or the placement of a cathe­ter that allows for continuous infusion of local anesthetic over several days. Other variables to consider when discuss­ing regional anesthesia include the type of local anesthetic used, the volume and concentration of the drug, and the addi­tion of other drugs into the injectate (Table15.2).
Burn injury pain should be amenable to regional anesthesia as it is mediated by peripheral nociceptors at the injury site as well as by injuries to the nerves themselves (peripheral neuropathic pain) and by the peripheral inflam­matory response to the injury. Furthermore, local anesthet­ics have some intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties and can modulate steps of the inflammatory cascade [27, 28]. Pain from surgical debridement of a burn injury and from graft donor sites should therefore respond well to regional anesthesia. However, the available evidence for the effec­tiveness of regional anesthesia specifically in burn injured patients is limited to a small number of randomized con­trolled trials.

Despite limited high quality trials, regional analgesia seems to be a useful potential adjunct to systemic analgesia, with very few adverse effects [29]. The reason it remains underused as an analgesic modality in the burn injured popu­lation is probably due to the added complexity of care relat­ing to regional anesthesia. Nerve blocks are usually performed by a specially trained anesthesiologist, meaning availability of expertise may be inconsistent. If peripheral nerve catheters are used, appropriate nursing care must be available to iden­tify and manage potential problems, and systems must be in place to manage complications. Nonetheless, although further randomized control trials are warranted, regional analgesia is currently recommended by consensus expert opinion where possible [30].
Neuraxial Anesthesia
Centrally acting, or neuraxial, local anesthetic techniques include spinal (intrathecal) anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and paravertebral anesthesia. Spinal and epidural techniques involve injections into appropriate areas of the back using blind landmark techniques. Paravertebral blocks are tradi­tionally performed blind, but, more recently, ultrasound guided techniques have been described and used depending on practitioner skill and comfort [31]. Neuraxial blocks require specific patient positioning and may be technically challenging to place. As sympathetic and motor nerves are also affected, patients can often experience hypotension, uri­nary retention, and lower extremity weakness. Rare but seri­ous adverse events include epidural abscess and spinal cord ischemia secondary to hematoma.
Peripheral Nerve Blocks
Peripheral nerve blocks are most commonly performed using ultrasound to visualize specific structures of interest and guide the needle to a precise location. The upper extremity
326

can be blocked by a number of approaches to the brachial plexus, and common blocks of the lower extremity target the femoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and the sci­atic nerve. Peripheral blocks that target fascial planes rather than nerves have also been described, and their use has grown as ultrasound imaging technology has allowed these planes to be more easily identified. Transverse abdominus plane (TAP) blocks and quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks target the abdomen and anterior lower thorax; serratus ante­rior plane blocks (SAPB) target the anterolateral thoracic wall; erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) target the postero­lateral hemithorax. One advantage of fascial plane blocks is that the needle is not placed near a nerve or blood vessel, reducing the risk of neural injury or toxicity from intravascu­lar injection of local anesthetic.
Upper extremity blocks and plane blocks of the trunk have been successfully reported in burn injured patients [32,
33]. The use of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and
fascia iliaca plane blocks for donor site pain have also been shown to be reliable for reducing pain scores and opioid use by both single shot and nerve catheter techniques, in children and adults, when compared to local anesthetic infiltration [3436].
Non-pharmacological Modalities
Pharmacological therapy for pain is often limited by actual or potential adverse effects, and even with maximal pharmaco­logical pain therapy, patients with severe burns may experi­ence high or intolerable pain levels. Analgesic medications and regional anesthesia target the sensory nociceptive com­ponent of pain, but the overall pain experience also consists of an experiential component (the individual experience of pain), a cognitive component (an individual’s thoughts about pain), and a behavioral component (how an individual acts in response to pain), all of which are influenced by an individu­al’s perception, expectations, and past experiences [37, 38].

A number of non-pharmacological interventions are available that have been shown to help with pain management in the burn population. While there is significant heterogeneity in methodology and outcome measures, there are also no adverse effects associated with them other than cost. Broadly, non-pharmacological analgesia falls into two categories. Distraction techniques work on the principle that non- noxious stimuli can suppress pain and redirect attention. Cognitive techniques work by mitigating anxiety and addressing the affective component of pain and downregulating sympathetic tone. In reality, many non-pharmacological techniques work in more than one of these categories.
These techniques are safe and effective as adjuncts in the analgesic management of burn patients. Despite this, these interventions are likely underused because of the expertise, time, and overall expense [39]. Current American Burn Association guidelines recommend every patient should be offered non-pharmacological analgesia, at least as an adjunct to their pain management regimen, and that cognitive behav­ioral therapy (CBT), hypnosis, and virtual reality have the strongest evidence base [40].
Distraction Techniques
Music is easily available, portable, and customizable to patients’ preferences. It inhibits pain by gate-control block of sensory fibers, while also stimulating endorphin secretion. It has been shown to improve pain, anxiety, and relaxation in background pain and pain during dressing changes [4143]. More interactive forms of music therapy such as music-based imagery (MBI) and music alternate engagement (MAE) also show significant reduction in pain, but not opioid use, during dressing changes [44, 45].
Virtual reality (VR) uses an immersive visual and auditory experience usually delivered through a headset to distract a patient’s attention from painful stimuli. VR use during dress­ing changes and other procedures appears to have a signifi-
328
J. B. Starr et al.
cant effect on pain scores, but not opioid consumption [46]. Functional MRI suggests that although distraction is the predominant mechanism of action, VR also may modulate the pain experience [47]. Interactive video gaming can be considered a subset of VR in terms of mechanism and effi­cacy [39, 48].
A number of other distraction techniques have been examined for burn pain, including massage therapy, aroma­therapy, and acupuncture [4951]. All of them generally show a moderate positive effect on pain scores but with small sample sizes and significant heterogeneity.
Cognitive Techniques
Hypnosis causes an altered state of consciousness to a more suggestible state, facilitating changes in pain perception, along with increasing relaxation. Reduction in pain quality and anxiety has been shown in adults and children although not a reduction in pain intensity [39, 52, 53].
CBT aims to modify patients’ thought processes relating to their pain experience [54]. Both hypnosis and CBT require highly trained personnel to be a viable modality for burn pain management.
Initial Treatment Approach
Although there are many options for pain management, it is useful to have a standardized approach for all patients and adjust as necessary. We recommend ensuring all of a patients home psychoactive and chronic pain medications are restarted. Assuming there are no contraindications, add basic adjuncts such as acetaminophen and an NSAID.In patients with moderate pain, start an oral opioid for background pain and an IV opioid for breakthrough pain. In those with severe pain, starting an IV opioid delivered via PCA can be more effective initially. For procedures, ensure short-acting, quick-

onset opioids or benzodiazepines are available. Non­pharmacologic techniques—particularly distraction techniques such as music and VR that are simple, inexpen­sive, and widely available—should be included in the multi­modal analgesia plan for all burn patients, regardless of the size or severity of their burn. Once these interventions are enacted, continually assess pain control and safety. If treat­ment goals are not being met, then consider pain manage­ment specialist consultation.
Other useful consultants include addiction medicine in patients with substance use disorders, child life for pediatric patients, palliative care for those at the end of life, and psy­chiatry for patients with coexisting mental health disorders. If available, engaging specialists in non-pharmacological modal­ities can be helpful, including acupuncture, massage therapy, rehabilitation psychology, and spiritual care.
