SPPM President Advocates for Safe Pain Management in Pediatric Patients

SPPM is proud to advocate for issues related to pain management in children. Recently, our president, Dr. Rita Agarwal has been featured on two prominent websites discussing current issues around pain management. The first article was featured on Doximity and discusses the utilization of ketamine for non-medical use as a chemical restraint that lead to an unfortunate death in a young person. The second article, in MedPage Today focused on codeine use in children and modification of existing black box warning based on genetic testing. As a prominent society representing hundreds of clinicians involved in management of pain in children and teens, we hope to continue with advocacy work related to our expertise in pediatric pain.
