Abstract
The aim of this article is to review the literature on pre-hospital assessment of pain in paediatric patients. Many articles highlight the under-treatment of pain in paediatrics by pre-hospital clinicians, showing that this is an area falling short of best practice. This article evaluates the effectiveness of two established pain assessment tools authorised for the pain assessment of children in pre-hospital environments.
