acute pain perceptions, literature search highlights problems related to healthcare systems and misconceptions among healthcare workers, rendering pain alleviation, during emergencies and disaster, disregarded. On pain assessment, numerous studies emphasize the need for standardized selfreporting pain measurement tools, when it comes to evaluate a patient's pain intensity and severity. Various treatment modalities exist that can successfully guarantee pain alleviation in almost any setting. Lessons acquired from environmental and military disasters emphasize on the use of interventional techniques, like peripheral nerve blocks.Abstract B56 Table 1 Studies of peripheral nerve blocks for analgesia in the ED Conclusions The problem of pain management extends far beyond a single country or a single ED. Physicians should recognize pain as a true emergency and treat it as such.
