This module should have provided you a good overview of pain management in Tactical Field Care.  

In addition to understanding some of the history of pain management on the battlefield, we discussed the current TCCC approach to analgesia and reviewed the TCCC Guidelines.

Although each casualty should self-administer the medications from the CWMP, the Combat Medic may need to remind the casualty if they need them on the battlefield, and train them in advance, so that they take them appropriately.

We reviewed the indications and methods of administering pain medications transmucosally, including oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) lozenges and ondansetron. 

The indications and considerations for administering ketamine and naloxone were also discussed. 

Reviewed intranasal, intramuscular, and intravenous/intraosseous medication administration methods.
