SummaryIn this module, we will explore the ways in which climate change impacts the health, well-being, and health equity of children and adolescents. Part of that exploration will analyze how unique pediatric physiology can increase a child's vulnerability to the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change. Throughout the session, real-world examples will highlight how climate change exacerbates health inequities and environmental injustices by disproportionately impacting vulnerable and marginalized communities.

Pain is probably the most common presenting or associated symptom in patients in the hospital, and patients are often more concerned about being in pain than they are about the primary reason for admission. Pain is a completely subjective experience that is the consequence of the filtering, modulating, and distorting of the afferent nerve activity (i.e., nociceptive input) through the affective (i.e., limbic system) and cognitive processes unique to each individual. The following educational module discusses why postoperative pain requires treatment, outlines methods for performing a proper assessment of pain, provides strategies for utilizing patient-controlled analgesia safely and effectively, and summarizes the use of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the postoperative setting to help hospitalists improve patients’ quality of recovery and life.
