Acute Pain Service
An Acute Pain Service (APS) is a specialized medical team that focuses on preventing and managing severe pain, often after surgery or injury. The team consists of doctors, nurses, and pain specialists who work together to create personalized pain relief plans using various methods, including medications, nerve blocks, and other therapies. Their goal is to ensure patients experience the least discomfort possible, facilitating a quicker recovery and improving overall well-being. By addressing pain effectively, APS helps patients regain their mobility and quality of life after a challenging health event.
